RED DEER COUNTY- The new traffic circle at the intersection of Laura Avenue and Lantern is open to traffic.

The circle is part of a larger overall project known as the Laura Avenue Extension.

The project will see a flyover constructed from the city of Red Deer that conncects with Laura Avenue at the north portion of Gasoline Alley.

Another traffic circle will begin construction at Liberty Street and Laura Avenue in the near future.

Traffic circles are designed to improve the flow of vehicles as they make their way through intersections.

Red Deer County predicts increased traffic in Gasoline Alley with the development of new businesses and residential dwellings.

The entire project will coincide with major changes to the entrance of vehicles into Gasoline Alley from the south lanes of the QE2.
