Intersection of White Spar and Copper Basin roads a four-way stop next week

The traffic signals at the intersection of State Route 89 (White Spar Road) and Copper Basin Road will be deactivated between 7 a.m. and 6 p.m. on Tuesday, Feb. 18 and Wednesday, Feb. 19 to allow for work to be safely done in, and around, the intersection.

During work hours, the intersection will be a four-way stop and drivers will be guided through the work zone by flaggers. Minimal delays are expected.

The intersection work next week is part of the SR 89 (White Spar Road) improvement project, which includes sidewalks, curb and gutter, and drainage improvements between Cherry Street and Copper Basin Road. Over the next six weeks there will be shoulder closures and limited access onto side streets as work continues.

The speed limit will be reduced to 25 mph through the work zone, please proceed through the work zone with caution, slow down, and be alert for construction equipment and personnel. The work zone will be clearly marked by temporary barricades and signage.
