Ashland roundabout

Post by Brad »

Anyone driven thought Ashland lately and seen the new roundabout on highway 6? It looks temporary? Its like its some sort of composite material just bolted down to the highway. I'm sure it was way cheaper than a traditional roundabout.

That said, its a huge improvement to the old intersection. Should have been done years ago!

I saw it about 1-2 weeks ago when heading back from Mahoney.

I have seen it and went trough it a couple of times. Construction was still going on at the time for it. I was trying to decide it it was temp or long term,

Is that the way they are leaving it? I mean, I guess it serves a purpose, but it looks kinda tacky.

Based on the description of "modular panels," yes.
