Project overview
Construction of a single-lane roundabout is planned in 2030 at Highway 71/Highway 19 and County Road 1/Airport Road intersection.
The proposed roundabout will improve safety, manage traffic more efficiently, support the long-term needs of the community, and help reduce fuel use and emissions.

- Roundabouts show an 86% decrease in fatal crashes and an 83% decrease in life-altering injury crashes
- Allows drivers to get through the intersection more safely and in less time
- Roundabouts handle high levels of traffic with less delay than most stop signs or signals
- Slows traffic to make entering and exiting the area easier for all users
Additional resources
Traffic impacts
Road closure and detours will be used during construction. More details will be developed and communicated prior to construction in 2030.
