Mariner Point traffic signal to go active
If all goes according to plan, the traffic signal on Mariner Point Drive and South Charles G. Seivers Boulevard intersection will be active on Wednesday, May 13.
The structure for the light is already installed and flashing, but Clinton City Manager Roger Houck said the light will begin its regular functions as a traffic signal on that date.
It’s near the Anderson County Office on Aging and Senior Center, The Lantern at Morning Pointe Senior Living facility, an Exxon station and a residential neighborhood.
South Charles G. Seivers Boulevard is part of Tennessee Highway 61.
Houck said the Tennessee Department of Transportation hadn’t concluded that the light was necessary from its studies, leaving the city of Clinton to install it at its own expense.
City officials, including Mayor Scott Burton, have described traffic as worsening at that intersection, making the light necessary.
Houck previously stated the project will cost the city $299,000.
