The Town is pleased to announce the start of a streetlight improvement project that will replace existing high-pressure sodium (HPS) streetlights with new, energy-efficient LED fixtures throughout several areas of the community.
This project is part of the Town’s ongoing commitment to reducing energy consumption, lowering operating and maintenance costs, and improving the quality of street lighting for residents and visitors. LED streetlights consume significantly less electricity than traditional HPS fixtures while providing a longer service life, reducing maintenance needs, and supporting the Town’s sustainability goals.
The new LED lighting will also improve visibility by providing brighter, more uniform illumination along roadways. These enhancements are expected to improve safety and visibility for pedestrians and motorists traveling throughout the community.
Phase I Streetlight replacements will take place in the following locations within the Town limits:
- Railroad Avenue
- Knight Street
- Twilight Street
- King Street
- Sussex Avenue
- Grace Street
- Wilson Avenue
- Prospect Street
- West Main Street
- East Main Street
- West Church Street
- East Church Street
- Virginia Avenue
- North Pine Street
- Richardson Avenue
- Savage Avenue
- Pine Street
- Sylvain Road
- East Pinecrest Road
- North Johnson Street
- East Johnson Street
- Thornton Lane
- South Street
- Williams Lane
- Bryan Avenue
- Chippen Road
- Nicholson Road
- Along the Route 460 corridor within the Town limits
Work will be completed in phases, and residents may notice crews and equipment in these areas during the installation process. Every effort will be made to minimize disruptions to traffic and nearby properties while the upgrades are underway.
The Town appreciates the patience and cooperation of residents and travelers during this project. These improvements represent an investment in a brighter, safer, more energy-efficient, and sustainable community while enhancing nighttime visibility for everyone who uses our roadways.
