The project will include Lurleen Wallace Boulevard from the 5th Street intersection to Northwood Lake Drive in Northport — a route that is traveled by approximately 40,000 vehicles each day.

ALDOT says the meeting is scheduled for Thursday, Feb. 6 from 5 p.m. to 7 p.m., which will allow the public to ask questions and view exhibits regarding the proposed project.

The project will aim to improve traffic flow, upgrade traffic signals and enhance safety by managing roadway access.

If the project moves forward, work will also include modifications to driveways, intersections, turn lanes and medians by "balancing efficient traffic movement with safe access to adjacent businesses and side streets."

Northport Free Will Baptist Church will host the public meeting and is located at 2401 Lurleen Wallace Boulevard in Northport.
