The Michigan Department of Transportation has met with a few dozen Allegan residents about a roundabout that will be built at the intersection of M-89, M-40, and Hubbard Street. Construction is expected to begin in March or April of 2024. MDOT engineers say the roundabout will create a smoother traffic flow and be safe for semis and pedestrians. A “truck apron” is also planned for the inside shoulder to give semis room to drive on the parts of the roundabout that are tighter. People expressed their worries about detour routes and were told those routes will be posted before the work begins.
