(KHQA) — The Adams County Board fielded questions from residents about the ongoing construction at 48th and State.Among concerns from the public were sidewalks at the intersection that are of no use, the removal of a right turn lane that helped traffic flow, and how the project was approved.Construction began on the intersection back in May to extend culverts, add shoulders on both sides of 48th Street, along with curb, gutter and sidewalk improvements.The County Board referenced a 1973 agreement in which the city of Quincy would take over the intersection once the portion entered 50% of the city.Adams County Engineer Jim Frankenhoff says they are basing the project off of what the city wanted for improvements to the intersection.“In our part we have spent the money that we were going to spend on the roundabout to satisfy their issues, the City Council’s issues with regards to the jurisdictional transfer. And again, pretty much going forward, in my opinion and my opinion only, the only thing that the county would now be obligated for is anything that lies outside the extent of that jurisdictional transfer," Frankenhoff said.Adams County Board Chairman Bret Austin said in regards to the project not being approved, that the improvements stem from the originally approved roundabout plans in 2022.Work on the intersection is expected to be completed by October.</div></body>
