In-Person and Online Public Involvement: AL-216 Access Improvements

In-Person and Online Public Involvement: AL-216 Access Improvements

Project Overview

Location: Brookwood (Tuscaloosa County)

The proposed project is located on AL-216 in the Town of Brookwood, Tuscaloosa County, Alabama. The project proposes to resurface AL-216, modify driveway accesses, and construct sidewalks, raised medians, and dedicated left turn lanes. The project will begin just south of the Jack’s restaurant near Covered Bridge Road and will end at George Richmond Parkway. These changes are expected to increase safety and mobility for residents and visitors to schools, businesses, homes, and recreational facilities located on AL-216.

Construction of the proposed project will be done in phases and the road will remain open during construction. A few short nighttime or weekend closures may be necessary, but motorists will be notified in advance and closures will be minimal. Right of way will be required for the proposed project. Additional information about right of way acquisition can be found in the ROW Section below.

The purpose of this public involvement meeting is to inform the public of the design features for the project. The Alabama Department of Transportation (ALDOT) is interested in obtaining input from the people who use this route.
