The newest roundabout in Liberty Twp. at Princeton and Yankee roads will close temporarily so the final course of asphalt can be installed.

The new roundabout will close for approximately 24 hours beginning at 6 p.m. Friday, according to the Butler County Engineer’s Office.

Construction crews will be applying the final surface course of asphalt and completing lane striping.

All four legs of the roundabout should reopen by Saturday evening, but timing will depend on various factors, according to the engineer’s office.
