The new traffic light at the intersection of Palm Valley Road and South Roscoe Boulevard was erected weeks ago, but it will soon be operational any day now.
According to Greg Leonard, vice president of the Ponte Vedra Beach Citizens Traffic Task Force, he was informed on April 10 by St. Johns County engineer Duane Kent that the light had been placed in flash mode now and is expected to be operational within the next 10 days.
Once it is operational, there will be lights helping to direct traffic going both ways along Palm Valley Road as well as traffic coming onto the road from South Roscoe Boulevard.
Signs warning drivers of the upcoming light have been placed heading both directions, including one near the top of the bridge going over the intracoastal waterway on the way to the light.
On April 4, Kent informed Leonard that there was still some “minor site work,” such as striping, pavement work and conduit installation that needed to be finished before the signal was activated.
