The Winchester Star | Sunday, July 27, 2025
Residents of Stephenson expressed skepticism toward a proposed roundabout at the intersection of Martinsburg Pike and Old Charles Town Road during a recent VDOT meeting at Jordan Springs Elementary School. While VDOT officials argue that the $11.5 million project will improve traffic flow and safety, community members like Tom Shirley voiced concerns about yielding issues and the potential impact on local businesses. With ongoing development and heavy traffic from nearby areas, the roundabout's efficacy remains in question as construction is slated to begin in 2027. For more details, visit VDOT's project page.
