This barrier now detours traffic from Fairmount Avenue, one block from the avenue’s intersection with 25th Street, Nine Mile Road and S Street. There, heavy equipment is digging up asphalt to create a new roundabout that will replace traffic lights at the busy intersection. Simons Contracting was awarded a $784,500 contract for the work that will disrupt traffic for three months. Total project cost: $1.2 million.
