Construction of a roundabout at Hwy 19 and Rice Co. Rd. 2 started May 4, 2026 north of Lonsdale to improve intersection safety and traffic mobility. Work was completed July 17, 2026 and it is open to traffic.

  • Handle more traffic with less delay than most stop signs or traffic signals
  • Slow traffic down to make entering and exiting the area easier for all users
