Traffic Light Back In Place In Heavily Traveled Area Of Manchester

MANCHESTER, CT — The traffic signal at the intersection of Pleasant Valley Road and the Interstate 84 Exit 62 ramps has been repaired and is fully operational, town officials said Thursday.

Temporary stop signs had been in place for about a week after a traffic light was damaged by a dump truck.

Paving has been ongoing in the area.

According to police, the dump truck became entangled in the wires associated with the traffic light at the intersection of Pleasant Valley Road, the Interstate 84 and I-384 ramp, and the center entrance to the Plaza at Buckland Hills shopping area.

That is one of the busiest sections of Manchester in the epicenter of the Buckland Hills commercial district.

The traffic light had to be removed because of the damage and all-way stop signs were set up in its place. They were three abreast on each side of the intersection.
