“We will have all of the dirt work done, then it will be a matter of waiting for the signal arms to come in,” said Scott Wiltz, a traffic signal technician and electrician with O.K. Johnson Electric Co. Inc., Topeka.

Wiltz said it likely would be January before the poles and arms will be installed.

Wiltz’s firm was awarded the $90,995 contract for installation of the signals.
