Motorists can travel east to west through the new K-18 roundabout on the west side of Junction City and good news, can now exit south onto Karns Drive on the west or back side of City Middle School. The Blue Jay Way or north exit from the roundabout near Junction City High School is still closed but is nearing completion.
Junction City Public Works Director Ray Ibarra says motorists can now use Karns Drive. The roundabout is still closed going onto Blue Jay Way. "Because they're still having to put some traffic signage on there, and then there are some areas that they have to do minor stuff that won't impede traffic, which would be to grade the dirt in the middle of the roundabout and around peripheral areas. "Ibarra added there a small amount of traffic pavement markings that need to be done. He is hopeful the Blue Jay Way side of the roundabout can be open by the end of next week.
There are other entrances to the high school from the back side coming south on Blue Jay way and from the west side off of Munson Road.
