The single-lane modern roundabout at U.S.36/SR 121 is officially open.
The intersection, which is on the Governor’s Top 150 list for safety improvements, was experiencing a higher number of crashes than anticipated. The roundabout will help reduce the number of “T-bone” crashes by reducing the number of conflict points while maintaining traffic through the intersection.
The Brumbaugh Construction Company was awarded a contract for approximately $1.7 million. Construction crews will return to the intersection to perform final lighting work.
