Woolmarket roundabouts completion pushed back again
SUMMARY: The completion of the two Woolmarket roundabouts has been delayed once again by MDOT, now expected to finish by summer 2025 instead of winter 2024.

The project has faced interruptions, with periods of inactivity leaving roads in poor condition.
