The new $4.1-million roundabout at Longyear Drive and Edison Road is the city’s fourth and the first for the community of Falconbridge, though at only one lane it’s simpler to navigate than the two-lane roundabouts on Maley Drive
Coming in on time and on budget, the $4.1-million roundabout at Longyear Drive and Edison Road in Falconbridge will be fully open at noon on Friday, Nov. 4.
With residents of Falconbridge having no other choice but to use the roundabout, and this being a first for the community, Edwards said it was important for people to ease into using it. When the Maley Drive roundabouts opened, Shelsted said there was some public confusion regarding which drivers should yield, which the additional yield signage aims to help clear up.
By reducing the number of stops, Shelsted said there are also less greenhouse gas emissions generated along this stretch of road. On the recycling front, all material pulled from the ground during the construction of the roundabout remained on site, with old asphalt ground down for use as shoulders.
