PROGRESS 20 Announces Planned Lane Closures on I-20 EB and WB To Perform Paving Operations as Phase II of Pavement Reconstruction Projects Continues, in Jefferson County

JEFFERSON COUNTY – A project to improve Interstate 20 from I-59 in Birmingham to State

Route 4 (US 78) in Leeds continues as the Alabama Department of Transportation announces

lane closures on I-20 to perform paving operations in Jefferson County.

Beginning Monday, April 8 at midnight, weather permitting Phase II of the project will initially

close the eastbound lanes of I-20 from exit 130 to exit 136 and is expected to last approximately

90 days. To avoid lengthy travel delays, motorists are encouraged to use the signed local detours:

Exiting I-20 East from I-20/I-59 South, take I-59 North to Exit 137 to I-459 South. Take I-459

south to Exit 29 to I-20 East.

Once the eastbound lanes are completed, the westbound lanes will close and a detour route will

be used. A $30,000 per day incentive/disincentive is included in the contract with the bonus to

the contractor calculated upon completion.

Plans are to do asphalt patching repairs on both eastbound and westbound lanes of I-20, which

will involve having various lane closures from the I-20/ I-459 Interchange to the 1st Leeds Exit

(Bass Pro Shop). Following the patching of both the eastbound and westbound lanes, they will be

milled for slope correction and paved with asphalt binder, asphalt wearing surface and will then

be restriped.

About 74,000 vehicles travel each day past the Birmingham airport and continue on I-20 to the

U.S. 78 Exit that carries you to the Leeds Retail Outlet. The concrete and asphalt have worn out

due to the heavy volume of traffic and heavy loads by large trucks.

The Alabama Department of Transportation’s $38.6 million project will rebuild 9.8 miles of the

interstate in both directions.

The expected completion date for the entire project is early Winter 2013.


Motorists are requested to consider adjusting arrival/departure times, observe work zone speed

limits and other work zone signs, and use extreme caution in this area. ALDOT thanks motorists

for their patience during this construction to improve Alabama’s roadways.

ALDOT's mission is to provide a safe, efficient, environmentally and economically sound

transportation network across Alabama. For further information, visit www.dot.state.al.us.

MEDIA ADVISORY ALDOT Announces $15.6 Million Project to Begin on U.S. 280, in Jefferson/Shelby Counties

JEFFERSON/SHELBY COUNTIES – The Alabama Department of Transportation today

announced that a $15.6 million dollar project has been awarded for improvements at

approximately 27 intersections along 8.93 miles of U.S. Highway 280 in Jefferson and Shelby

counties. This project includes adding turn lanes and changes in traffic signals to reduce

congestion and improve efficiency along one of Alabama’s most travelled roadways.

Weather permitting, work is scheduled to begin on Sunday, May 19, at the Hollywood Boulevard

Overpass in Mountain Brook and through Hugh Daniel Drive (milepost 1 through milepost 9) in

the eastbound and westbound lanes. Contractors will be milling and temporarily re-striping for

lane shifts, excavating, relocating drainage and resurfacing the roadway.

The contract was awarded to Dunn Construction and APAC Mid-South Inc. of Birmingham as a

joint venture. The contract requires all work requiring lane closures to be done between 7 p.m.

and 6 a.m. each day. ALDOT officials expect all night-time lane closures to end in time for

increased traffic volumes associated with weekday morning commutes.

An incentive/disincentive is included in the contract with the bonus to the contractor calculated

upon completion of the project. Incentives and disincentives are included in certain contracts as a

way to accelerate project completion and minimize traffic impacts.

The work is expected to be completed by late November.

Alabama Department of Transportation’s project to improve approximately 27 intersections

along 8.93 miles of the highway in Jefferson and Shelby counties. This project includes adding

turn lanes and changes in traffic signals to reduce congestion and improve efficiency along one

of Alabama’s most travelled roadways.

Weather permitting, work is scheduled to begin on Thursday, July 25 to install a new guardrail

system along the median from Cherokee Road to Overton Road. The work will begin in the

median of US Highway US 280 eastbound lanes and then proceed to the westbound lane. This

work is expected to take approximately 14 days to complete.

The contract requires all work requiring lane closures to be done between 7 p.m. and 6 a.m. each

day. ALDOT officials expect all night-time lane closures to end in time for increased traffic

volumes associated with weekday morning commutes.

An incentive/disincentive is included in the contract with the bonus to the contractor calculated

upon completion of the project. Incentives and disincentives are included in certain contracts as a

way to accelerate project completion and minimize traffic impacts.

The entire project is expected to be completed by late November.

Planned Lane Closures for Concrete Pavement Repairs, on I-65 SB, between the I-459 Interchange (Exit 250) and the Cahaba River, in Hoover HOOVER – Weather permitting, the Alabama Department of Transportation announces a double lane

closure, beginning on Friday, October 11 at 10 p.m. until Monday, October 14 at 5 a.m., at the

following locations:

The Interstate 65 southbound outside (right) two lanes and shoulder will be closed just south of

the I-459 entrance ramps leading onto I-65 southbound, for concrete pavement repairs.

During the removal and replacement of the damaged concrete pavement, the I-459 ramp traffic

that will be merging onto I-65 southbound will be required to transition to the second lane from

the left.

This work is being scheduled during the weekend, due to the pavement repairs being located in

one of the inside lanes of a four lane roadway and also due to the extended time required to

remove the deteriorated concrete pavement; to place new concrete and allow adequate time for

the concrete to cure properly before opening the travel lane to traffic.

Football and event traffic travelling southbound, should consider using U.S. 31

southbound, as an alternate detour route.

This work is expected to cause major delays along I-65 southbound and the southbound

ramps from I-459 merging onto I-65 southbound.

MEDIA ADVISORY ALDOT Extends Nomination Deadline for BNB Community Outreach Group

The Alabama Department of Transportation (ALDOT) is now moving into the construction

phase of the Birmingham Northern Beltline (BNB), a 52-mile, six lane corridor that will stretch

from I-59 in northeast Jefferson County to the I-459 Interchange with

I-20/59 near Bessemer.

Construction on the first phase of the project, a 1.34 mile highway from SR 79 to SR 75 is

scheduled to begin in 2014.

As ALDOT prepares to begin construction of the first phase of the BNB, the agency is planning

to communicate with the public in a variety of ways which are designed to keep the public

informed about environmental and construction concerns. ALDOT Director John Cooper

announced these plans by stating that "Our goal is to not only design, build and maintain the best

highway in the state, but to make sure area residents are informed of its progress."

Several means of communication are being implemented to keep area residents fully aware and

informed regarding the BNB project and to obtain feedback from the community. ALDOT

believes one of the most vital communication outlets will be the Community Outreach Group

(COG), a volunteer panel of private citizens that will meet periodically with ALDOT to ask

questions, get answers and offer suggestions about the BNB project while relaying information

back to other members of the community.

ALDOT is now seeking nominations to the COG. Anyone interested in the project who can

attend regular committee and public meetings is eligible to serve on the COG. All interested

persons are encouraged to submit a COG nomination form, which can be found at the highway's

official website BetterBeltline.org. The nomination deadline has been extended to December

6, 2013 and the selection committee’s decisions will be determined in the first quarter of

2014. Those selected will be contacted during that month.


BetterBeltline.org will also provide details of ALDOT's "Keep Your Eyes on the Road" (KYER)

program, which will offer citizens several optional ways to report any observation or question

regarding the BNB via the internet or the BNB Hotline (205-545-5445).
