Construction of Seymour’s next roundabout, which is part of the second phase of the Burkart Boulevard South Bypass project, is set to begin soon.

Airport Road at G Avenue (where the old Freeman Field sign was located) will be closed to traffic on or after May 16, according to a news release from the city. The closure had been expected to happen on or after May 23, but due to better weather than expected, utility poles in the construction area have been moved a little earlier, allowing construction to move forward.

The road will be closed for up to 90 days for construction of a roundabout.

Motorists should use the Walnut Street (State Road 11) entrance to Freeman Field during this time.

The Humane Society of Jackson County on G Avenue and other buildings west of Airport Road can be accessed through a temporary driveway around Developmental Services Inc.
