The Michigan Department of Transportation (MDOT) is proposing a $1.3
million roundabout project in Midland County that officials say will
have a long-term positive impact on safety in the area.
The project is located in the city of Midland just
east of Washington Street along M-20/U.S.-10 Business Route (BR) at the
Patrick Road crossover. The roundabout is scheduled for construction in
2014 and will take approximately three to four months to build.
Construction of the roundabout is expected to provide better traffic
flow through the crossover to Saginaw Road from eastbound and westbound
US-10 BR. It also will accommodate increased traffic due to a projected
growth in local industries over the next 20 years.
Speed limit studies taken three years before through three years after a
55-to-70 mph change in the area speed limit showed no change in crashes
per year at the intersection.
