A New Look Shaping Up at the Intersection of Mineral Point and Junction Roads

During numerous trips to Menard's this spring and summer, I tried to visualize the end result of the massive road reconstruction project taking place at the intersection of Mineral Point and Junction Roads.   Thanks to these renderings at Roadworks Project at the City of Madison's website, I now have a clear picture.

The project, which got underway last fall, involves a partnership among the City of Madison, Dane County, and Wisconsin Department of Transportation.  It is designed to address growing traffic congestion (which became so bad years ago that I learned to avoid this area at certain times of the day and week), and to improve access for pedestrians, bicyclists, and riders of public transit.
