New Jefferson traffic signal ready to go

GAINESVILLE - A long-awaited traffic signal at a busy Jackson County intersection should be operational by early next week.

The Georgia Department of Transportation (GDOT) began testing the light, at U.S. 129/Jefferson Bypass and Old Pendergrass Road in Jefferson Wednesday. Weather permitting, the new signal should be operational Tuesday, January 15. Rainy weather would delay that, however, by at least one day.
