The first stage will demo the existing structure, install the proposed box culvert, and construct the eastern side of the roundabout while T-579 (Orchard Street) and Route 2028 (Sugar Run Road) are detoured (2.2 miles). The second stage will complete the roundabout while Route 2003 (Sugar Run Road) and Route 2003 (Porter Street) are detoured (8.5 mile) along with the detour from the first stage remaining in place. The detour will be in place from spring 2026 to fall 2026.
