The intersection of Midway and Maple Grove roads will be looking different pretty soon.

Construction will begin on the new single-lane roundabout on June 11th.

Midway Road will be open to traffic during the first month of construction, however Maple Grove Road will be closed on both sides of the intersection.

Detours will be posted to use Lavaque Road and Morris Thomas Road.

Starting July 9th, Midway Road will close at the intersection with Maple Grove Road, and northbound traffic will be detoured to Highway 2, Canosia Road and Highway 194.

Southbound traffic will be detoured to Highway 53, Lavaque Road and Highway 2.

Large trucks will be detoured to Highways 33 and 2.

The $2.1 million project, which will be done by Northland Constructors, is expected to be done by August 31st.

The county says the intersection is known for having a higher number of crashes than it should, as well as lengthy backups.
