Crews paved the new roundabout last weekend in Kent at Fourth Avenue South and Willis Street.
The $4.75 million project eventually will include new sidewalks, crosswalks, pedestrian lighting, landscaping and art installations to spruce up the gateway to downtown.
A $3 million state Department of Transportation grant will help fund construction of the two-lane roundabout that replaced traffic signals. The rest of the cost will be paid for by city B&O, utility and drainage tax funds, according to city documents.
