A new traffic light will be installed later this year at the intersection of Annapolis and Dairy Farm roads, the State Highway Administration said Wednesday.

Work on the light installation at the busy Gambrills intersection should begin within the next four to six weeks, SHA spokesman David Buck said. The light will be operational in about three or four months, depending on how the weather impacts the work.

Buck said the light will cost a little more than $100,000, with SHA paying for two-thirds ($71,800) and Anne Arundel County contributing one-third ($35,392.)
