Signal 2070A: Depot Road at East 17th Street

Signal 2070A is a traffic signal located at the double intersection of Depot Road and East 17th Street in Huntington Station.

Earl History
The intersection of Depot Road and East 17th Street was originally just a single intersection, it's first construction was built around the same time as Signal 2071A, Laurel Road at Dickinson Avenue in East Northport. The first signal had no push buttons for Pedestrian crossings or any labeled crosswalks despite the signal being in the middle of a neighborhood.

2017 Reconstruction
Plans were laid down in 2016 to reconstruct Depot Road signals 2070A and 2077A (by East 13th Street) to LED signals on mast arms. Both signals were experiencing similar problems of too much space in the middle of the intersection, and had to become double intersection signals. While 2077A was easier due the intersection of Depot Road and East 13th Street already being 2 intersections, a big excavation project had to take place to redesign Depot Road and East 17th Street into 2 separate intersections.

Signal 2077A was reconstructed first in early 2017, followed by a requested reconstruction of Signal 2136A in Greenlawn. Excavation began in August 2017 with temporary signals being inserted into 2070A to control the new traffic pattern while the new signal technology was installed. The new signal and intersection was officially complete in fall 2017.
