B4 • www.DupontTimes.com Dupont Valley Times • February 24, 2012 I-69 and Union Chapel interchange construction set for mid-March A tentative timeline was recently announced for the construction of roundabouts on the new Union Chapel Road and Interstate 69 interchange. The interchange, north of State Road 1/Dupont Road, includes roundabouts at each end of the new bridge over I-69 where the new exit and entrance ramps converge with Union Chapel Road. Motorists can expect to see the place- ment of construction signs and temporary barrier walls on I-69 near Union Chapel Road by early to mid-March, the department said. With the exception of the northbound on-ramp, the project will be complete by late fall 2012. Courtesy photo Worship List
