A new traffic circle may finally fix one of Dutchess County s most frustrating intersections.
State and local governments are working together on a $5 million project to improve and enhance a tangle of roads and traffic lights that has been plaguing Hudson Valley drivers for decades.
The Hudson Valley has seen a huge increase in traffic circles over the past decade. While many were skeptical of the idea in the beginning, even the most ardent proponents of the circles have come to realize how efficient they are. Roundabouts installed throughout the region have resulted in less congestion and a more scenic landscape.
