Tuesday, March 12, 2024 – The eagerly awaited Church/Throup Roundabout project is reaching another significant milestone, with the roundabout anticipated to be functional by the end of this week. Completing this milestone marks a significant enhancement to the transportation infrastructure in our community, promising smoother traffic flow and increased safety for all road users.
To facilitate the final stages of construction and ensure a seamless transition to the roundabout system, traffic control personnel will be stationed alongside construction crews. Additionally, signage will be in place to guide motorists through the new traffic pattern and assist with traffic flow.
Residents and commuters are encouraged to familiarize themselves with the proper usage of roundabouts. Here are some essential instructions to ensure safe navigation:
- Slow down as you approach the roundabout and yield to vehicles already in the circle.
- When entering the roundabout, yield to circulating traffic from your left.
- Keep to the right of the central island and continue around the circle until you reach your exit.
- Use your turn signal to indicate your intention to exit the roundabout.
- Remember to yield to pedestrians and cyclists in the crosswalks.
Construction crews are continuing with concrete curbing in the roundabout button and islands, before completing asphalt paving (weather permitting) and proceeding to landscaping and line painting. Substantial completion is anticipated in early spring.
