Signal 2077A: Depot Road at East 13th Street

Signal 2077A is the four way traffic signal controlling traffic at the two intersections of Depot Road and East 13th Street owned and maintained by the Town of Huntington. The signal is an LED and operates using the modern day technology.

2077A is also known for its old mast arms which were used in the original construction of the signal, demonstrating how the mast arms can be retained for a rebuild. Currently, only one of the 2 old mast arms remain in service.

Early History
2077A's initial construction date is unknown, but was most likely built around the early 90's. It is the highest signal number on Depot Road, making it the most recent signalized intersection on the road.

2017 reconstruction
While both ends of East 13th Street were offset from each other, there was no overlap phase or heads to control traffic between the 2 intersections. Due to this and the lack of pedestrian signals at the intersections, the Town of Huntington decided to rebuild the signal. What was unique about the reconstruction was the mast arms used in the original construction were retained and all poles for pedestrian heads were used on recycled auxiliary poles. Reconstruction began in late 2016 and was finished in early 2017.

2018 accident
On October 28th 2018 at 4:44AM, a vehicle going northbound on Depot Road over the speed limit crashed into the southern mast arm, completely destroying it along with the heads and the signal controller. As a result, the intersection operated as an all-way stop for a few days while the contractor rebuilt the southern section of the signal with a new mast arm and controller.
