First roundabout in Massillon opens to traffic, see drone photos
MASSILLON – The city's first roundabout is slated to open Nov. 13 to motorists who travel a main section of the west side. The $1.16 million circle is at Main Avenue W at Tremont Avenue SW. Work started in April and finished this week. A redo of Main Avenue and Tremont Avenue intersection was necessary because the two roads run nearly parallel to each other. They come together at a sharp point near the former Third Base bar property, which had a triangular shape. Third Base was demolished a few years ago to make space for the project . "We think the roundabout should improve the flow of traffic in the area and is a boost to (driver) safety," said Mayor Jamie Slutz . The new roundabout is surrounded by multiple pedestrian sidewalks, decorative bricks, as well as rock-filled center isle.

The intersection at Tremont and Main avenues average approximately 3,000 motorists per day, according to Pitts, who said the circle's speed limit is 25 mph. Most of
