People apparently still don't realize Kings/Stembridge intersection is closed

Construction began Monday morning on the new roundabout project at the Kings/Stembridge roads intersection across the river, detouring traffic in four different directions.

Motorists apparently were slow to get the message, however, prompting County Manager Carlos Tobar to drive out to the area and post a Facebook Live video.

"The roads are closed at this intersection. There a lot of people turning around, so a lot of folks haven't gotten the message. The intersection of Kings and Stembridge is closed for construction," said Tobar in the video. "We'll get this intersection finished as soon as we can."

The intersection will remain shut down for another month, with Jan. 14 being targeted as the re-opening date.
