   Section of Porter Rd . to close Oct . 10 for roundabout construction
   FAYETTEVILLE , Ark . — As part of construction for the Midtown Corridor Improvements project , a section of N . Porter Rd . – from W . Sycamore St . to the intersection of W . Deane St . and Stephen Carr Memorial Blvd . – will be closed to through - traffic beginning Monday , Oct . 10 .
   The stretch of Porter will be closed to allow crews to complete a roundabout at Deane and Stephen Carr in front of the new Fayetteville Police Department Headquarters and Fire Department Station No . 8 , both of which are under construction .
   Work on the roundabout is anticipated to be completed by mid - December . During this time , a lane shift will allow traffic to continue on Stephen Carr and Deane . Northbound traffic will be shifted to what will be on - street parking after the project is complete .  
   Detour signs will direct traffic to Porter via Sang Ave . and Skylar Dr .  
   Public Works Director Chris Brown said , “Installing this roundabout will help alleviate congestion of traffic caused by the nearby onramp to Interstate 49 , as well as provide better service and safety benefits for all legs of the intersection – for all modes of travel . ”
   The Midtown Corridor project includes work on Porter , Deane , Sycamore and Poplar St . – an important east - west connection for vehicle and bus traffic . In addition to the new 1 . 75 - mile Midtown Trail , the project includes new curbs , storm drainage , lighting , street trees and sidewalks with greenspace .
