Brasfield & Gorrie, the general contractor for the West Alabama Highway project, and the Alabama Department of Transportation will hold a public information event on July 11 at Wallace State Community Center.
Representatives from Brasfield & Gorrie and ALDOT will provide information and answer questions about the project starting at 5 p.m.
The West Alabama Highway will add lanes to U.S. Highway 43 and State Route 69 to provide a four-lane divided highway from Thomasville to Moundville. This will complete a four-lane highway corridor of roughly 200 miles connecting Mobile and Tuscaloosa.
For decades, residents, business leaders and public officials have called for construction of the West Alabama Highway as a way to ease travel, improve safety and increase economic opportunities for people in rural West Alabama.
Maps of the highway route and right-of-way acquisition, as well as information about design features and the anticipated construction schedule, will be available for viewing at the in-person meeting.
“We are looking forward to sharing information about the many benefits this project will bring to the area and answering people’s questions,” said Kevin White, a regional vice president for Brasfield & Gorrie.
The project is expected to need 700 workers during peak construction.
