New Traffic Lights Covered Up Before Upgrade | Mt Elliott & Miller

Mt Elliott St & Miller St in Detroit Michigan features a rare transitional construction phase where the old wire span has been completely removed, and 13 brand new Eagle MoboTrex LED heads sit fully bagged and covered before their official activation! This video documents the active construction and transition phase at the intersection of Mt Elliott Street and Miller Street on Detroit's east side. Filming this on foot provides a steady, detailed look at the installation process of a brand new signal modernization, catching the exact moment where the legacy hardware has been torn down, but the new system is still waiting to be powered on! The overhead infrastructure at this junction is completely in flux. The old wire span setup has been completely removed. In its place, construction crews have installed heavy-duty hardware featuring 12 brand new 12-inch LED Eagle MoboTrex heads suspended above the lanes. At the roadside, 1 new pole-mounted LED Eagle MoboTrex head has also been installed. Currently, all 13 of these new vehicular signal heads remain completely covered up and bagged before their final wiring and activation phase. Down on the street level, the crosswalks are prepped with an installation of 8 brand new countdown pedestrian signals.
