Starting in September, contractors will start the second phase of work on a new roundabout on Route K.
Starting Sept. 8, West Route K will be closed east of the Break Time gas station driveway and east of Vermillion Drive. Access to the gas station will be available only from West Old Plank Road.
The first phase focused on the north half of the roundabout; the second will focus on the south half, according to a release.
A detour will be set up to direct the traffic from both directions onto West Old Plank Road. Access to Maple Meadows Drive will also be closed.
A release states phase two is expected to be completed in early October, with more phases to follow.
The overall construction is planned to be done by early winter.
