We will continue to send you updates as the project moves forward.

About the Project

To improve safety and efficiency, the City of Cedar Rapids will be constructing a roundabout at the intersection of Williams Boulevard and Dean Road SW. Roundabouts have been shown to significantly reduce speeds and reduce, or eliminate, the number and severity of crashes.

Construction is scheduled to begin March 2020 and last approximately the entire summer. Dean Road SW will be closed at Highway 151 (Williams Blvd) during the project. Neighborhood access will be available via the intersection of Stoney Point Road and Dean Road. Through traffic on Highway 151 will be maintained via the frontage road south of Highway 151.
