Traveling in western Augusta is about to change forever.

Senator Way, formerly known as Storey Street, will turn into a two-lane, one-way street Tuesday. The street, just off Western Avenue, serves as the entrance for the new Augusta Crossing shopping center that opens next month, the Best Western Senator Inn and Spa and the Kennebec Journal.

A perimeter road -- another two-lane, one-way street going counterclockwise behind the newspaper building -- has been built for people to exit Augusta Crossing.

Sam Donovan, the project supervisor, said completion of the perimeter road and parking lot construction, including landscaping, will take a month and a half.
