‘ROUND THE ROUNDABOUT – Traffic flowed through the temporary roundabout on Wednesday morning as Williams Construction crews began to working on the new, permanent roundabout at Society Turn. Delays of up to 10 minutes are possible though this week and into the next week as crews follow up the switch with demolition of the existing intersection, equipment crossing, etc. Weather is always a factor and could delay progress at times. “The speed limit on the single-lane roundabout is 25 mph,” CDOT Project Engineer Lorna Alexander said. “It’s very important that motorists keep their speeds low and drive with extra caution, as the detour roundabout is directly adjacent to our work zone – we want to maintain safety for both workers and motorists.” ( Photo by Brett Schreckengost)
