-Press Release New Traffic Light in 2026 Intersection of Jebavy Drive & Johnson Road

The Intersection of Jebavy Drive and Johnson Road will have a new traffic light in 2026.
The intersection has been a concern of the Mason County Road Commission for several
years. The new Elementary School at the intersection of Bryant Road & Jebavy Drive was
operational in January 2022. The additional traffic on Jebavy Drive increased delays for
traffic at the intersection of Jebavy Drive and Johnson Road.
A traffic study was conducted at the intersection of Jebavy Drive & Johnson Road by
Prein & Newhof in May of 2022. The study concluded that the levels of service at the
intersection warranted a traffic signal. The study also recommended adding a
dedicated right turn lane for south bound traffic at Jebavy Drive and Johnson Road. The
dedicated right turn lane for south-bound Jebavy Drive at Johnson Road was
constructed in 2023 with an MDOT Category F Grant and additional funding from the
MCRC.
The MCRC applied for an MDOT Safety Grant for a traffic signal at the intersection of
Jebavy Drive & Johnson Road in May of 2023 for FY2025 but was unsuccessful.
The MCRC applied again for an MDOT Safety Grant for a traffic signal at the intersection
of Jebavy Drive & Johnson Road in May of 2024 for FY2026 and was awarded a Grant in
October of 2024 the amount of $228,600.
The traffic signal work is anticipated in the Summer/Fall of 2026. This project will improve
safety and greatly improve the levels of service of the motoring public for this intersection.

Commission.
