The traffic lights will be working again at the intersection of Peel Street and Gladstone Road from early next week.

A temporary roundabout has been at the intersection since February 19, after water made its way into the underground cabling and control box causing it to short-circuit.

Gisborne District Council traffic manager Mo Ruru said cyclones Hale and Gabrielle played havoc with water affecting the electrical components of the traffic lights.

“We’d like to thank everyone for their cooperation over the last few months using the temporary roundabout.

“We’re pleased to get this work finished and thank the companies who helped us do that.”

Mr Ruru said the work cost around $40,000, with specialist traffic light company, TSL group working alongside Currie Construction and Electrinet to get the project completed.
