Clover Hill traffic circle to cost up to $678, 000 | Transportation

The construction of a roundabout in Chesterfield County has been delayed by a month because cost estimates were not done correctly.

The county was supposed to hire a contractor to begin work this summer on a traffic circle near the new Clover Hill high school.

During rush hour, traffic slows at the intersection of Brandermill Parkway and Kelly Green Drive.

The county now must re-start the bidding process.

It will not accept a bid over $678,000, which is a 100 percent mark-up from the mis-calculated amount.
