CLARKSVILLE, Tenn. (WKRN) — Construction crews started work on a series of dynamic street signs for Clarksville drivers Monday.

The signs will be placed at eight locations along Wilma Rudolph Boulevard and display detours, travel times, accidents and other safety precautions for drivers. The City of Clarksville said that the signs will be installed as part of the city's adaptive street signal system along the roadway.

The project is a part of the city’s Adaptive Signal System Plan, which costs around $2.5 million.

The total project cost is $2.5 million, the city said, and is part of the mayor's Transportation 2020+ master plan for roadway improvements. The master plan includes, more sidewalks, improved traffic signalizations, highway improvements and more. 

Clarksville officials are warning drivers to expect some shoulder and/or lane closures along the boulevard while they work on installing the signs. It's expected that each of the eight locations will take around an hour to complete.
