The project is expected to continue through late spring 2026.

The $6.89 million project, awarded to APAC-Alabama, will resurface U.S. Highway 11 between Alabama Highway 69 and Pleasant Hill Drive.

The road work also calls for extending left-turn lanes and making improvements at Hargrove Road, Palisades Drive and Cypress Creek Avenue.

ALDOT said all work will take place at night and in an effort to minimize disruptions, lane closures will not be permitted from 6 a.m. to 8 p.m., or on Saturdays when the University of Alabama hosts home football games.
