Latest Plan For Roundabout Completion

SUBJECT TO CHANGE

The city has announced the latest plans of contractor Asphalt Services for completing the new roundabout: the intersection will be closed for several days beginning Tuesday morning for paving.

Previous plans to have it mostly-completed by Labor Day never worked out -- and working overnight to minimize traffic disruption did not either.

DAYTIME CLOSURE TIMES

Tuesday, September 16 – Thursday, September 18, 2025; 8:30 a.m. – 4:00 p.m. daily 

• Closures will begin after the morning rush hour (8:30 a.m.) and will reopen by 4:00 p.m.
ahead of evening traffic.


• Work is expected to take three days, though the contractor may complete it in just two
days.


• Following the final closure, traffic will be fully open on Scenic 98, N. Section Street, and
Triangle Drive.


• All work is weather dependent.


This closure allows crews to complete milling, grading, and paving in the northwest quadrant of
the new roundabout. Drivers are urged to use caution, watch for workers and equipment, and
follow all posted detours.

A roundabout was proposed by Mayor Kant with a way-back-then price estimate of $200K. His idea received little notice beyond the late Mike Ford jokingly observing that it would cost $400K, $200 to put in and another $200 to take out. Time has proved the effectiveness of roundabouts.

Lucky we are getting a roundabout at this problematic intersection.

Was not proposed by Kant. It was a part of the Village North development that never happened. Circa 2000.

Traffic signal would be better.

Agree that a "smart" traffic light there would be better. Accidents waiting to happen.
