WORTHINGTON Route 143 isn’t the busiest of roadways. But thanks to a multimillion-dollar federally funded project, it now has a roundabout.
The roundabout is at the intersection of Old North Road, Huntington Road, Buffington Hill Road, and Williamsburg Road. So far reactions to the roundabout, which opened to traffic in 2020, have been mixed.
“People don’t like change,” said Charley Rose, chairman of the Worthington Select Board.
Rose said that some of the feedback has to do with how it feels to drive around the roundabout without its second layer of paving, which is scheduled to be put in this year. He also said that if a vehicle is too big to make the turn, the roundabout can be driven through.
