A major intersection in the Puna district will be impacted Sunday as the county Department of Public Works Traffic Division conducts work on traffic signal equipment, weather conditions permitting.

Traffic signal lights at the intersection of Highways 130 and 11 in Keaau, one of East Hawaii’s busiest intersections, will not be operational between 8 a.m. and 3:30 p.m. Sunday as work crews replace a controller cabinet for the light signals.

Because the traffic lights will not be working, motorists must treat the intersection as a four-way stop.

Road work signs will be posted in the area and a special-duty police officers will direct traffic.

Motorists are advised to expect delays.
