Work on ‘Vogue Optical roundabout’ to start

Charlottetown drivers should brace for disruption as soon as Tuesday on the long-awaited new roundabout that will replace five-way traffic lights at a key P.E.I. city intersection.

That’s when construction is set to start at the intersection of Belvedere Avenue, Brackley Point Road, St. Peters Road and Falconwood Drive — soon to be nicknamed “the Vogue Optical roundabout,” if the corner’s history has anything to do with it – the history being the Vogue Optical building that is easily seen.

The traffic control circle is expected to be fully functional by the end of the year, though some cleanup work will continue into December, with more needed in the spring.
