ROANOKE COUNTY, Va. – VDOT wants to cut your commute time and is asking for your input on a new roundabout in Roanoke County. It wants to build the roundabout near Starkey Road and Buck Mountain Road. About 8,600 cars drive that intersection each day, so the roundabout would reduce significant congestion. “There really are significant delays, particularly at peak travel times around this intersection,” said VDOT spokesperson Jason Bond. "So the roundabout offers a way to really improve how the intersection functions and offers drivers a way to get through the intersection more efficiently.”VDOT is accepting public comments on the project until October 31.
