The intersection of Brookswood Boulevard and Powers Road reopens today at 1 p.m. with a new roundabout. Another intersection with a new roundabout, at Northeast 18th Street and Empire Avenue, is scheduled to reopen Tuesday. Both intersections had been closed for four months while the roundabouts were built. The new roundabouts were part of the general obligation bond approved by voters in May 2011. The bond authorized $30 million in transportation projects. Roundabout art will be installed separately by Art in Public Places.
