According to a City of Foley news release, the signals will be shut down at 9 a.m. while a temporary signal is put in. Foley police will direct traffic while the light is down.
Crews will connect power to new connections and remove current signal poles that will have to be moved because of new turn lanes that are planned for that intersection, the release said.
The work should be done by 4 p.m., the release said.
According to the release, Alabama Department of Transportation officials have said the work was scheduled in such a way that the signal outage would be before most schools were out for summer and beach traffic increases.
The eastbound section of Baldwin County 12 has been closed as the work has been done, but is expected to be reopened by the end of May, according to ALDOT.
In addition to the new turn lane and signal improvements, the project also includes culvert extensions, the release said.

It appeared that two other civilian vehicles were involved. A white pickup truck ended up in a parking lot. A small grey sedan was sitting on Saint Stephens Road with its front bumper torn off and windshield damaged. It's not clear how badly anyone was hurt.
