After years of discussion and months of detours, Vogue Optical roundabout finally opens
Drivers alongside St. Peter’s Highway in Charlottetown may have a smoother commute Monday because the long-awaited roundabout has lastly opened.
Detours have been in place since work started in August on the busy, and typically complicated, five-leg intersection.

The bike path, which may also be utilized by pedestrians, will likely be just one.5 metres extensive. As a result of it’s so slender, visitors must be one-way, with everybody shifting counter-clockwise, the identical course as car visitors.
