Traffic Impact at Covington Road & S. El Monte Avenue on 3/27

The City of Los Altos has identified a malfunctioning traffic loop - a device that detects vehicles to better control traffic light timing - at the intersection of Covington Road and S. El Monte Avenue. The defective traffic loop is causing problems with coordinating this intersection's traffic lights with others in the surrounding area, causing traffic delays during the peak commute hours.

The City plans to replace the traffic loop on Thursday, March 27, 2014 from 9:00 a.m. to 3:00 p.m.

Drivers should expect some traffic delays in the area while this repair is completed.
