Simpson-Mt. Wash. roundabout opens Friday

The intersection of Simpson Ave. and Mt. Washington Dr. will re-open to traffic at 3 p.m. Friday.

Closure was required for the construction of a new roundabout, part of the voter-approved transportation General Obligation (G.O.) Bond program.

The 2011 G.O. Bond measure authorized $30 million for seven separate projects which were selected based on known safety and congestion issues, geographic location, and the opportunity to provide local construction jobs.
