The
Lake County Division of Transportation (LCDOT) has opened the new roundabout at
River Road and Roberts Road. This is the 5th roundabout in Lake County. In many
locations, roundabouts provide safer and more efficient traffic flow than
standard intersections and they are a key component of the Lake County highway
system. While there is still finishing work to do on the project, the
roundabout is now open to motorists.
I would like to thank you for your patience during this final road
closure! The construction contract allowed for 20
calendar days for the Roberts Road closure and roundabout construction. LCDOT
anticipated that this closure would be disruptive to traffic so they worked very
closely with the contractor to move quickly. Thanks to the construction team
for their dedication to the timeline we were able to open the roundabout in 12
days!
Please drive slowly and be alert approaching and
driving through the roundabout as we learn this new driving
pattern.
 Navigating the River and Roberts Roundabout:
This new roundabout is
the first multi-lane roundabout in Lake County. As motorists approach the
roundabout, they must think ahead and make sure they select the correct lane as
they enter the roundabout. This video focuses specifically on the River Road and Roberts Road Roundabout and illustrates the different
movements drivers can make.
