Roundabout Construction to Begin at North Lamar and Molly Barr Road

Oxford, Miss. — Drivers in Oxford should prepare for traffic changes as construction begins on a new roundabout at the intersection of North Lamar Boulevard and Molly Barr Road on Monday, August 18, 2025.

According to city officials, the westbound portion of Molly Barr Road will be closed during this phase of the project, and the intersection will temporarily operate as a three-way stop.

Motorists are encouraged to pay close attention to posted signs and message boards, which will provide detour information and traffic guidance throughout the construction period.

The roundabout project is part of ongoing efforts to improve traffic flow and safety in the area. Officials are urging drivers to use caution, allow extra time for travel, and remain alert as crews work in the busy intersection.

No specific timeline has been released for how long this phase will last, but updates will be shared with the public as the project progresses.
