The project also includes extending the existing four-lane roadway section with landscape medians and sidewalks from the municipal building west to the Lionshead parking structure. Effective Tuesday, Nov. 2, traffic moving through the South Frontage Road Roundabout project are being flagged to use the new roundabout configuration as crews work to complete the center medians and prepare for final paving and a winter shutdown. This means traffic making left turns in and out of Vail Health, the Municipal Building, the recycle center and the Evergreen Lodge must utilize the new roundabout at the Evergreen and the existing Vail Town Center (Main Vail) Roundabout to access each property from the appropriate direction. Traffic control flaggers are at the intersection points to help direct motorists through the construction area. This traffic configuration is expected to remain throughout the majority of the remainder of the project and after the project’s completion. South Frontage Road Roundabout Construction Wrapping up for Winter Season. Traffic is flowing through Vail's seventh roundabout. On-going minor work and clean up will be taking place through Wednesday, Nov. 24. At that time, construction will be complete for the winter except for the installation of traffic signs which have been delayed until early December. The project will be completed next spring by mid-June SUBSCRIBE TO PROJECT UPDATES Virtual Open House View an overview of the three phases by Project Manager Tom Kassmel. South Frontage Road Roundabout Project Open House from Town of Vail on Vimeo. Project Phases The project will be completed in three major phases: Phase 1 | April - June Includes the project’s most impactful work to access points and adjacent properties. Work within this phase includes the eastbound traffic lanes, the southern sidewalk, southern retaining wall, utilities and the southern access points. Phase 1A | Mid July - Mid August In order to make up for construction delays, the project will move into an interim Phase IA that will allow the contractor to continue to work on the retaining walls at the west end of the project, while also transitioning to Phase 2 work on the east end of the project. The anticipated traffic shift to Phase 1A is Mid July. A full transition to Phase 2 will occur by Mid August. Phase 2 | July - August Includes the project’s less impactful work and minimizes impacts to access points and adjacent properties. Work within this phase includes the construction of the westbound lanes, northern sidewalk and utilities. Phase 3 | October - September Includes the project’s final completion with median/landscape work, final tie-ins and final asphalt surfacing. A message from Vail Health: Patients with appointments should allow 15 minutes extra arrival time in case there is any construction traffic. The front drive and parking structures for Vail Health Hospital will be fully open and operational. The front entrance to the Medical Professional Building will not be accessible to pedestrians or vehicles from April 13-June 25. Access to the building during that time will be through the parking garage; access to the Medical Professional Building parking garage from South Frontage Road and W. Meadow Dr will not be disrupted.
