TRAFFIC SIGNAL COMING TO GUM SPRING ROAD AND EVERGREEN MILLS ROAD

Work begins Feb. 4 to install a traffic signal at the intersection of Gum Spring and Evergreen Mills roads in the Arcola area of Loudoun County, according to the Virginia Department of Transportation.

The signal is a safety measure to reduce the number of angle accidents and improve traffic flow through the busy intersection.

Crews will also construct a traffic island at the intersection to provide a foundation for the traffic signal poles. The work is expected to be completed by early April and the signal will be operational later that month.
