Traffic signals are coming to the intersection of Lakemont Boulevard and Southeast 63rd Street/Cougar Mountain Way, and the intersection of Lakemont Boulevard and Southeast 62nd Street.

The work will improve traffic flow, intersection safety and access, city officials say, by replacing stop signs with a new traffic signal. In addition, the contractor will add curb ramps that comply with the Americans with Disabilities Act standards, along with irrigation and landscaping improvements.

Construction hours are 7 a.m. to 4 p.m., Monday through Friday. Drivers, pedestrians and bicyclists should expect traffic delays and exercise caution when driving through a construction zone. The traffic signal is expected to be operating by August.
