Drivers in Carver County can look forward to a new way to navigate the intersection of Highway 41 and Highway 10, as a brand-new roundabout is slated to open tomorrow evening, given that the weather and the remaining schedule align. According to a social media post from Carver County Public Works, the opening will introduce a new access route designed to enhance traffic flow and safety through the intersection.
Initially, the roundabout will be operating as a single-lane circle while crews are adding finishing touches throughout the next week. Motorists should be prepared for a temporary setup and watch for construction crews working to bring this project to completion. Keeping an eye out for workers in the area, drivers are advised to approach with caution.
As this roundabout becomes operational, Highway 10 (Engler Boulevard) will see a new closure stretch between Crest Drive and Ridge Lane. This is to make way for the construction of another new roundabout at Park Ridge Drive. Traffic will still be able to reach Crest Drive, but this disruption is expected to last until mid-November.
For those accustomed to strolling the area, it's important to note that pedestrian underpasses at the Highway 41/10 intersection remain off-limits. The concrete pathways connecting these underpasses are still awaiting their finishing touches before opening to public use, ensuring a safe passage beneath the bustling roads is ready for foot traffic.
