New Econolite Traffic Lights Upgrades | The Innovate Mound Project

The massive Innovate Mound Project in Macomb County, Michigan, features an incredible active transformation, showcasing before and after upgrades from old layouts to heavy duty new black mast arms packed with black Econolite heads, smart technology, reflective backplates, and talking countdown pedestrian signals! This video documents a comprehensive, multi mile drive straight up the Mound Road corridor, capturing the phenomenal before and after traffic light upgrades stretching from 12 Mile Road in Warren all the way up to Dobry Drive in Sterling Heights. Filming this provides me a detailed look at how this historic 9 mile industrial roadway has been completely rebuilt for the 21st century! The overhead layouts across this entire high volume commercial and industrial route received a top to bottom modernization. The old setups have been completely retired and replaced with rugged, sleek black mast arms stretching across the newly widened lanes. Suspended securely on these new mast arms are brand new black Econolite LED heads equipped with gloss black reflective backplates to completely eliminate sun glare. This corridor is now fully integrated with connected smart technology and fiber optics to optimize traffic flow! Down on the freshly paved street level, navigating the crosswalks is safer than ever with the installation of brand new talking countdown pedestrian signals that provide audible crossing guidance for pedestrians. 📍 Location: Mound Road (12 Mile to Dobry Dr), Warren & Sterling Heights, Macomb County, Michigan 🛣️ Nearby Streets & Landmarks Mound Road – A critical, 9-mile industrial and commercial connector carrying over 70,000 vehicles daily through Macomb County.
