City Budget Records And A Recent Council Agenda Suggest Long-Discussed Intersection Work Near Country Club Drive Is Gaining Momentum. A long-discussed roundabout project on Robert Boulevard in Slidell appears to be moving closer to construction, according to city budget records and a recent City Council agenda.
The City of Slidell’s 2025 adopted budget identifies a capital project to construct a roundabout at Robert Boulevard and Country Club Drive. In the city’s proposed 2027 budget, the same project is still listed, and a progress table places the Robert Boulevard at Country Club Boulevard roundabout at 20 percent completion.
Further evidence of movement came in the Slidell City Council agenda for May 26, 2026. The agenda summary included an amendment that would allocate $2 million to the Robert Road roundabout project. City documents available through search results do not, by themselves, spell out a construction start date or a final completion timeline.
The intersection sits in a heavily traveled part of Slidell, serving neighborhoods, nearby schools, and daily local traffic. If built, a roundabout there could reshape traffic flow along one of the city’s main north-south corridors.
Public records show the city has used roundabouts in other parts of Slidell before. An existing roundabout at Robert Boulevard and Brownswitch Road has been in place for years and later became the site of a city-backed public art installation.
Why This Matters In Slidell
For Slidell drivers, changes on Robert Boulevard can have an outsized effect on daily travel. The corridor connects residential areas with schools, parks, shopping, and major east-west routes. Any redesign at Country Club Drive could affect commute times, neighborhood access, and traffic patterns in central Slidell.
The project also matters because it appears to have remained on the city’s capital list over multiple budget cycles. That suggests the roundabout has been more than a concept, even if residents have yet to see construction begin.
