Roundabout Construction

From what I can see Rusty is correct.I believe the crosswalks are the paralell black lines that connect to the purple(probably new construction) sidewalks.DJ's looks like the entrance(denoted by where the orange meets the yellow) will be right after you enter the rotary from the Weirs.

Yup, my bad. I went back and reread his post and looked more closely at the pictures.

IT's almost done, but drivable.

Driving down the hill, past the Lobster Pound, and turning right at the new roundabout to go to Lowe's in nearby Gilford, is much, much safer than it was with the old malfunction junction. That turn used to be a little bit iffy, and now it's a smooth move.......no worries.

That Phillips 66 gas station that's right on the new roundabout could maybe rename itself "Roundabout Gas & Go" or something and do a little local advertising so's it could be open all 12-months /year as opposed to only May thru Oct. That just seems so unusual for a gas station with that much visibility to be closed like it is?

There just are not too many of the older style gas stations left.......all the other stations are multi-pump, super pumpers.....but the prices at the Weirs Beach roundabout Phillips 66 sure seemed like it was very competative. Maybe offer coffee at 50 cents/cup or something like that......like so why do so many more seem to go to the Cumberland gas up the hill, which is open year round, than to the Roundabout Gas.....like what makes Cumberland any better.....except that is is open and the Roundabout Gas is closed?

I agree that there don't seem to be that many old style gas stations left. However, if I remember correctly, their prices were anything but competitive before Cumberland Farms opened. I believe they did try to stay open that first year or two but apparently it isn't worth while continuing to do so now.

I always bought gas and newspapers from them after their gas prices came more in line with what other stations were charging but have since moved from the Weirs area over to Gilford and therefore don't drive by as much as I used to.
