HUDSON, FL — As part of an ongoing safety improvement project in the area, a new Beacon Woods Drive roundabout will soon provide drivers access to the Hudson Walmart Supercenter without traveling on U.S. 19.

The roundabout is one of several improvements funded by a public-private initiative that Pasco County, Walmart and the Florida Department of Transportation are constructing to provide safer access to the busy store, nearby intersection and surrounding communities.
