Traffic Back Ups 123 N between Burke Lake Rd. and FFX Co. Pkway Exit

Anyone know why for the past few days traffic has been crawling between Burke Lake Rd. and the exit ramp for FFX Co. Pkway on 123 heading north? I saw that there were blockades placed at the Little Chapel Rd intersection so traffic can only turn right onto 123 from that intersection. It has been a mess since at least Thursday. Thinking about an alternate route today if still backed up.

Someone had run over the box that controls the traffic light and the light was completely out. No left turns were allowed so the folks coming out of Chapel Road had to turn south on 123 and then make a U-turn. The light at the entrance to the parkway heading south was never adjusted so the timing was all screwed up.

The light was fixed Friday morning by 1030.

Maybe it was theoretically fixed on Friday, but on Saturday, the traffic northbound at that same spot was backed up WAY worse than usual . . .
