Guernsey traffic light repairs near completion
Work to repair the traffic lights at Admiral Park is expected to be completed by the weekend of 21–22 June, according to Traffic and Highways.The department apologised for recent disruptions, which have caused long queues, particularly during peak commuting hours. The delays stem from faults in the traffic detection loops at the junction, it said. Two of the three faulty loops, on the southbound and Elizabeth Avenue arms, had already been replaced, it added.
Engineers reactivated the permanent signals earlier this week, but further issues were discovered on the northbound arm, said the department. A temporary fix had been implemented, with full repairs scheduled for later this month.Traffic and Highways also said that the ongoing closure of Amherst Road for Guernsey Electricity works had increased pressure on the junction. However, it believed the temporary signal reconfiguration would help ease congestion.The department said it would continue to monitor the junction and make further adjustments if needed, and reiterated its apology for the inconvenience caused.
