(WJHG/WECP) - A new roundabout is giving patients and emergency crews a faster, safer path to Jackson Hospital.The project was funded through Florida Commerce hurricane recovery grants. It improves the route from Highway 90 to the hospital and updates aging underground utilities.“It really improves access for the patients and other users of the hospital and so the roundabout is a big deal, the project added a lot more than the roundabout and added additional waterlines, some additional water capacity, a lot of underground utilities and so this was a major project that involved a multimillion-dollar project,” William Long the City Manager of Marianna said.Crews installed more than 2,000 feet of new water lines, over 1,000 feet of sewer upgrades, and added better stormwater drainage.Officials say these improvements will speed up response times for the region’s only full-service hospital within 45 miles.City leaders add that the work isn’t just about easier access, it’s about strengthening Marianna’s emergency readiness.To stay up to date on all the latest news as it develops, follow WJHG on Facebook, Instagram, and X (Twitter).Have a news tip or see an error that needs correction?
