History[edit | edit source]
In 2005, starting on July 15 of that year, as part of a repaving project along Fort Street between Goddard Road and Schaefer Highway, the curve at Champaign Road was completely rebuilt. The previous curve was highly sharp and thus jeopardized safety, but the new curve provided a smoother flow.[2]
