COLUMBIA - Traffic backups near Mill Creek Elementary School have been solved after summer school began Monday.Â
"Just even in one day there's been a huge improvement," Russell Boulevard Elementary parent Jamie Blake said. "I know that educators are working really hard to try to get people out there very quick. They're very conscious of what's going on and I'm really grateful that they're working so hard for us."Â
Two roundabouts were constructed on Nifong Boulevard at Sinclair Street and Old Mill Creek last year.
According to the city of Columbia, the roundabouts were constructed to improve safety, reduce queue lengths and decrease travel times.Â
