County officials said the $2.4 million-dollar project will not only make the intersection more efficient but much safer once the traffic circle opens.
“Historically, what we have seen in the other roundabouts that we have built in the area is about a seventy five percent reduction in accidents, so the number of conflict points that you have at a red light or a four-way stop is numerous. The number of conflict points where an accident can happen at a roundabout is cut way down,” explained Nunnally.
The project is being largely funded by a $2 million-dollar state grant. Baldwin County and the Eastern Shore Metropolitan Planning Organization are splitting the remainder of the cost. If the project stays on schedule, it should be finished by mid-December.Download the FOX10 Weather App. Get life-saving severe weather warnings and alerts for your location no matter where you are.
