(UPDATED: signs have been replaced!) As part of the 10th Street Bridge detour, East-West through traffic on 9th Street West will no longer be required to stop at 1st Avenue West, effective the afternoon of October 1st.

This intersection previously was controlled with a four-way stop. North-South traffic on 1st Avenue West will still be required to stop. Drivers will notice ‘sunburst’ warning signage in the vicinity of the intersection indicating traffic control changes ahead.

This is being implemented to improve traffic flow on 9th Street as part of the detour route during the replacement of the 10th Street bridge.
