The traffic signal will be activated on Thursday, Nov. 1, according to a report from Caltrans spokesman Phil Frisbie Jr.
Caltrans reminded motorists to always drive cautiously and courteously, especially while motorists become accustomed to the new signal.
The operational project will improve the movement of traffic through the intersection of Route 29, Route 281 (Soda Bay Road) and Red Hills Road, according to Caltrans.
In addition, officials expect a reduction in the number of collisions involving turning vehicles at the intersection.
The contractor, Steiny and Co. Inc. of Vallejo, began construction on Aug. 30, Frisbie reported.
The Nov. 1 completion date is about one month ahead of schedule, according to Caltrans.
Caltrans previously reported that the stoplight was installed at a cost of just under $500,000.
