Georgetown Public Works Department maintains 82 traffic signals, 47 of which were acquired from TxDOT in 2023. The project will ensure all traffic signals have upgraded controllers, battery backups and detection technology.
“Many of the TxDOT signals require significant upgrades to meet city standards,” Public Works Director Eric Johnson said.
