Officers will help drivers through Austin’s next roundabout this weekend

AUSTIN (KXAN) — Traffic closures associated with Austin’s next roundabout will continue into this weekend.
Beginning at 10 a.m. Friday, drivers headed west on 51st Street were not able to turn onto the southbound Interstate 35 frontage road and detoured through the intersection to Airport Boulevard.
Starting at 5 a.m. Sunday, however, one lane will open in the roundabout. The traffic signals will be removed and officers will be on site to direct traffic through the new intersection.
