According to the City of Hot Springs, a 200-foot diameter roundabout will be constructed at the intersection of Highway 5 and Highway 7 as a part of the ArDOT project to widen Highway 7. 

The current businesses at the junction, Shell gas station and Trophies Corner, will be demolished according to Hot Springs' Weekly Snapshot.

The ArDOT project will feature a center turn lane, two traffic lanes, bike lanes, curbs and sidewalks and a new traffic signal at the north end of Fountain Lake School.

Seventh Street, between Henderson Street and Oakwood Avenue, will be... closed to through traffic from 8 a.m. until 6 p.m. on Tuesday, November 19, for the repair of a water main. Traffic signs will be posted, and motorists are advised to seek an alternative route.

ArDOT designed the project for the city and bids are expected in May 2020.
