ELLICOTT CITY, MD – A Howard County construction project to install a mini-roundabout at the intersection of Stevens Forest Road, Nightstreet Hill and Farewell Road in Columbia, is scheduled to begin on or about Monday, June 10. The mini-roundabout will eliminate the intersection’s current two-way stop and will be constructed within the roadway’s existing curb lines. Improvements to the roads’ pedestrian crossings and bikeways will also be made. Weather permitting, the project is expected to be completed by mid-July.
As lane shifts and temporary lane closures are expected, signs and flagging operations will be in place to direct traffic as needed during construction hours, Monday through Friday, 9:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. Bike lanes, sidewalks and crosswalks adjacent to the project site will also be close as needed during the project.
