Due mostly to numerous weather delays, the roundabout at the intersection of Fairhope Avenue and CR 13 (Oberg Road) will not be completed by the August 1st target date, according to the mayor at a meeting last week.
City crews have already installed small trees and other landscaping.
It should definitely be finished by the opening of the school year on August 22th though: paving is expected this week but the asphalt will have to "cure" some time before the striping paint can be applied.
