New Roundabout Set To Be Built At Busy South Philadelphia Intersection

PHILADELPHIA (CBS) -- A big change is coming for drivers in South Philadelphia and it's going to make traffic at a busy intersection look a little different.

The city is getting ready to build a roundabout where 20th Street, Penrose, Moyamensing and Packer Avenues all meet.

The goal is to make the intersection safer for drivers, pedestrians, and cyclists.

Below is a picture of what it will look like when the first roundabout in South Philly is completed in a few years:
