Traffic signal at McLarry's Curve to go active next week
DOT signal

The Georgia Department of Transportation (DOT) will activate a new signalized intersection Wednesday, August 7 at the intersection of Highway 84 and Old Sunbury Road in Liberty County. 
While not expected to be in service for the Wednesday morning commute, the signal should be fully functional by midday. Local law enforcement will handle traffic control during activations. Message boards will be in place this week near the intersection to alert motorists of this new traffic signal location and activation date. Weather conditions and other factors may affect this schedule.
This signal is among the final elements of the DOT’s operational improvement project which encompasses the realignment of Old Sunbury Road and Old Hines Road and Highway 84 turn lanes. This $5.6 million project at Flemington Curve is expected to enhance safety and improve mobility at this busy intersection.
Motorists are advised to proceed cautiously through this intersection, but most certainly so next week during activation and the days to follow as drivers become acclimated to the new signal. 
Motorists are advised to expect delays, exercise caution, and reduce their speed while traveling through work zones, stay alert, and watch for workers. 

Before heading out, get real-time information on work status and traffic conditions. Call 511, visit 511ga.org, or download the Georgia 511 app.
