Traffic lights at a busy Watford junction that stopped working earlier this year are set for works over the course of more than a month.
The lights, where North Orbital Road, St Albans Road and Horseshoe Lane meet, by the Garston Harvester, will be updated between July 24 and August 30.
It will take place between 8am and 6pm, under temporary traffic signals and pedestrian crossings. Lane closures may be put in place at various times during the working hours.

The work is weather-dependent and so may be postponed on days when poor weather is forecast. All nearby businesses will be able to open as usual.
Motorists have reported facing a “terrifying” commute in which they had to navigate the junction with no lights on more than one occasion early this year.
When it happened on January 18, a Hertfordshire County Council spokesperson said the issue was the result of damage caused by a crash and a signal pole had to be removed for safety reasons.
