A vehicle accident in December at Western and 35th in Corvallis caused extensive damage to the traffic signal equipment that controls the intersection. Although replacement equipment has been ordered, the severity of the damage coupled with delays from the holidays means that the signal may not be functional again until mid-January.
The signal is currently disabled and the intersection is being controlled by stop signs. Western and 35th is a busy intersection, and motorists are advised to give themselves extra time traveling through the area.
