(KNZA)--The city of Hiawatha has announced they plan to switch the traffic signals at 1st and Oregon Streets from flashing mode to normal operation on Wednesday, May 22, at 9 am.

The city urges all drivers to use caution as they transition back to normal operation.

The signals were recently repaired and the Hiawatha City Commission agreed during a work session Monday evening to have them turned back on as soon as school is out.

The traffic lights have been in flashing mode since a pole at the southwest corner of the intersection was blown down during a wind event in 2017.
