Roundabout on I-35 at 51st street opens, working as planned

AUSTIN (KXAN) — Austin’s newest and biggest roundabout opened Saturday afternoon.
Traffic signals are removed and officers will be on site to direct traffic through the new intersection.

Residents who live near the roundabout say they have been keeping a close eye
