Motorists,

be prepared for some inconvenience maneuvering through the intersection

of Ga. highways 54 and 74 in the coming months.

The Georgia

Department of Transportation will be making adjustments to the timing

sequence to coordinate the traffic lights in the area over the next several

months, according to City Engineer Troy Besseche. Although a timing sequence

is in place, the DOT is still "tweaking" the system, Besseche

noted.

Construction

activity in the area may also cause problems with the signal system from

time to time, he said.

Last week,

construction activity caused problems when the timing sequence was interrupted

and the traffic signals reverted to a default timing plan, Besseche explained.

That caused traffic to back up in all directions, he added.

"We will

make every effort to minimize these construction related interruptions,"

Besseche said.
