Online open house for new SR 510 roundabout in Lacey

LACEY – People who use the intersection of State Route 510 and McAllister Court Southeast/Rockcress Drive Southeast have the opportunity to learn more about upcoming safety improvements planned for the intersection.

Starting today, Thursday, March 17, the Washington State Department of Transportation launched an online open house that provides information about plans to build a new single-lane roundabout at the intersection in Lacey.

WSDOT will use public feedback received during the online open house to help finalize the design of the roundabout. Construction is scheduled to begin in 2024.

Studies show roundabouts help reduce the potential for crashes while keeping people moving. WSDOT routinely reviews intersections in rural areas on the state highway system to find ways to reduce potential collisions.
