ALDOT Projects To Affect Traffic On 280, I-59
The Alabama Department of Transportation has two projects this week that will affect two heavily traveled roads in the Birmingham metro.

I am a lifelong Alabama resident with more than two decades of media under my belt. I have worked for a daily newspaper, a weekly newspaper, a monthly magazine, a television station and a couple of radio stations. I also tried my hand at marketing for a little while. But I love writing news. This opportunity to bring Patch to Birmingham is a chance for my hometown to benefit from a new - and better - way to read and receive news.
