ALDOT Online and In-person Public Involvement: US-78 Access Improvements

FROM ALDOT: The Alabama Department of Transportation (ALDOT) is developing an access management plan in Jasper, Walker County along the AL-5/AL-69/AL-118 (US-78) corridor that will preserve roadway capacity and maintain traffic mobility while reducing conflict points that degrade the roadway’s safety performance. The project limits extend from the intersection of AL-118 and Gamble Road on the western end to the intersection of AL-5 and Hollis Crump Drive on the eastern end.

 

Access management along the corridor will include median opening closures, median opening relocations, driveway consolidations/closures, turn lane construction, turn lane extensions and roadway realignments. The study proposes 18 median openings to be closed, 91 existing driveways to be closed, and 23 other driveways to be modified.

 

The purpose of this public involvement meeting is to inform the public of the design features for the project. ALDOT is interested in obtaining input from the people who use this route.
