Project Description
This project is an Alabama Department of Transportation project that will widen Ross Clark Circle from Bauman Drive to North Cherokee Ave. from four lanes to six lanes. There will also be intersection improvements made at West Main Street from N. Englewood Ave. to Bel Aire Drive (4 to 6 lanes) and at Montgomery Highway from Girard Ave. to Buyers Drive. This project will include incorporating ALDOT’s access management plan, signal upgrades, and access roads to shops and dining North of Meadowview Drive to the Montgomery Highway intersection.
Update (1/10/2021)
Midsouth Paving is working at night the week of January 10th- January 15th. Residents should expect lane closures and delays when traveling this area during the week between 7 p.m. to 7 a.m. Once night work is complete, the contractor will then begin working on installing new signal poles at signalized intersections throughout the project. This is in effort to shift traffic to the outside lanes so median work can begin on Ross Clark Circle. During this time residents should expect limited median access in this area.
