PRINCETON — For several months, drivers at the intersection of Route 26 and Ace Road in Princeton have been met with flashing red lights instead of the usual stop lights. The storm that raged through the area Aug. 4 knocked out power throughout Princeton for an hour or two, but it was a lighting strike that took out the traffic lights.

But the lights won’t be flashing for much longer.

On Friday, Illinois Department of Transportation Community Relations Manager Julia Messina said IDOT expects to fix the traffic signal within the next two weeks.
