UPDATE (12/16): ALDOT is working with their contractor to initiate the signal timing and controls. While this procedure began Monday, December 15, ALDOT and their contractor anticipate the work to continue into Tuesday, December 16. When ALDOT and their contractor feel that the light is ready to use, they will initiate the traffic signal to enable public use.

The long-anticipated traffic signal at the intersection of State Highway 27 and Shellfield Road is now in place and currently operating in flashing mode as installation work reaches completion. 🚦
The signal will become fully operational on Monday, marking a significant milestone in improving safety and traffic flow at one of Enterprise’s busiest corridors.
The flashing period draws attention to the light and allows drivers to adjust to the new traffic pattern before the full signal becomes active. Motorists are urged to be alert, reduce speed, and proceed with caution when traveling through the intersection.
“This project has been a priority for the City of Enterprise and for our residents for many years,” said Mayor William E. Cooper. “Seeing the new traffic signal installed is an important step forward for safety and mobility in this high-traffic area. We appreciate ALDOT’s partnership and ask drivers to be mindful as they travel through the intersection in the coming days.”
The new signal is part of the Alabama Transportation Rehabilitation and Improvement Program II (ATRIP-II). The City of Enterprise contributed to engineering and design costs, reaffirming the city’s ongoing commitment to infrastructure improvements that enhance public safety and support continued growth.
Once fully activated Monday, the signal is expected to improve traffic flow along Highway 27 and Shellfield Road, benefiting commuters traveling between Enterprise and Ozark as well as Fort Rucker personnel and local residents.
Drivers are reminded to watch for new traffic patterns and use extra caution during the transition period.
