A traffic reconfiguration in El Jebel two years in the making begins Wednesday. Johnson Construction, Inc. will be building a roundabout on El Jebel Road, just south of Highway 82, where the driveway to Wendy’s tends to block traffic during morning and afternoon rush hours.
The $2.47 million project is being funded by contributions from Eagle County, the Colorado Department of Transportation and Crawford Properties LLC. Construction should last through Nov. 1 and is not expected to slow traffic on Highway 82, but at times wide loads may be restricted on El Jebel Road.
