Alabama

This may have been covered before, but what is this construction project about?: Unknown Construction. Is it a new alignment for AL 13?

Haleyville bypass. It's been in a figurative coma for awhile and the grading has been there for over a decade. The project stalled when federal money dried up and doesn't have much momentum to come back from what I've heard.

Try two decades. I moved from Phil Campbell to east Alabama in 2003 and it doesn't look like anything changed since then.

edit: I'll go ahead and correct myself. Should've looked at historical aerials first.  It looks like the bridges were constructed between 2011 and 2015.

IIRC, the bridge pair I've been on has 2011 cast into the jersey barriers on the sides of it. From what I understand, the bypass has been talked about and wanted for decades.
