Road widening project to start June 15
In addition to adding lanes, the $5.3 million project will also resurface SR-53 from Jeff Road to Taurus Drive.
Contractor Rogers Group anticipates beginning work Monday, June 15, if weather and scheduling permit. ALDOT officials said work will begin with clearing, excavation and filling on the west side of the road on June 15, weather permitting.
Grading and drainage will be followed by construction of the southbound road base and paving through the binder layer. A similar sequence of work will follow for the east side and additional northbound lane.
After the new lanes are constructed, the contractor will pave the final wearing surface. Subcontractors will then install traffic stripes, pavement markers and signs.
ALDOT anticipates completion in late 2027.
