The HAM-Plainfield Roundabout Project is complete; landscaping and decorative elements still to come
|
|
The HAM-Plainfield Roundabout Project is now complete!
There are three new roundabouts:
- Kroger entrance on Hunt Road
- Plainfield Road and Hunt Road
- Plainfield Road and Peppermill Lane
While all three roundabouts are open, there will be some minor follow-up work at the Plainfield and Peppermill roundabout. Also, the Public Works and Parks Departments are working together to develop final landscaping plans for the construction area. This will include center island landscaping and stone veneers on the walls of the Plainfield and Peppermill roundabout.
The roundabouts were constructed to improve traffic flow, ease congestion, and increase safety for motorists and pedestrians. This was especially important at the Plainfield and Hunt intersection, which had been on the list of the most dangerous intersections in Ohio.
