TIVERTON — The state Department of Transportation provided these dtetails about a a new traffic signal coming to the corner of Fish and Bulgarmarsh roads in Tiverton.

• t’s one of 12 locations in a statewide pedestrian and intersection safety improvement project - $2.9 million. It is on time and on budget.

• Right now the contractor is clearing trees, doing some preliminary drainage work and installing an underground conduit. They have also started signal work and sidewalk and handicap improvements.  

• Motorists can anticipate alternating one-way traffic during these operations, weekdays from 9 a.m. to 3:30 p.m.

• The intersection configuration that motorists can expect to drive through once the signal is fully operational will be:

Fish Road Southbound will have a separate left turn only lane and right turn only lane;

Bulgarmarsh Road (RI 177) Eastbound will have a separate left turn lane with a left turn phase, as well as a separate through lane;

Bulgarmarsh Road (RI 177) Westbound will have a separate right turn lane and a separate through lane

• Pedestrian buttons and crosswalks will be provided across Fish Road and across the western side of Bulgarmarsh Road.

• The signal is expected to go live in Spring 2019.
