The flashing light at the intersection of County Road 17 with Dandy Road and Golf Road in East Hawkesbury is back, and hopefully to stay.
The first light, which flashes yellow to eastbound and westbound traffic on County Road 17, and flashes red to stop traffic on Golf Road and Dandy Road, was originally installed early in the spring of 2024. However, it was hit by a high vehicle and destroyed. United Counties of Prescott and Russell Director of Public Works and Engineering Jérémie Bouchard said the wire was not maintaining enough tension, and instead of risking having another vehicle hit the light, crews removed it. A new light, suspended by better wire tension, was installed during the final week of June.
