One-lane roundabout to be implemented at Ring Road and Shepherdsville Road intersection

The next traffic pattern shift for the construction of a roundabout at the intersection of Ring and Shepherdsville roads is scheduled to begin Wednesday night.

Kentucky Transportation Cabinet District Four says assuming weather is favorable and concrete pours reach the required curing levels, traffic will be placed into a one-lane roundabout at the intersection. When the roundabout is implemented, the traffic signal at the intersection will be turned off.

Traffic on both Ring Road and Shepherdsville Road will be reduced to one lane on the approach to the intersection. This one-lane configuration will be a temporary pattern until the full roundabout is implemented.

Crews will be working in the center of the circle and in the middle of all four approaches. Motorists should pay close attention to work zone signage, workers, and equipment as the work will take place very close to traffic.

The roundabout is part of the larger Shepherdsville Road widening project.

“Of course, the widening and safety Improvements project north of Ring Road has been going on now for a while,” said KYTC District Four Public Information Officer Chris Jessie. “It’s ongoing, and the roundabout portion of the project was specifically kind of set for a summer construction phase so that work would be going on after school’s out and before school starts this fall. The roundabout piece of the project has to be complete by August 1.”
