Project Overview

Location: Townley (Walker County)

The Alabama Department of Transportation (ALDOT) is proposing replacement of the existing bridges on AL-124 over Downey Branch, the West Fork of Lost Creek, and Hurricane Creek near Townley in Walker County, Alabama. The purpose of this project is to address aging infrastructure and functional deficiencies of the existing bridges. The bridges were constructed in 1924 and do not meet modern design standards due to the narrow width of the existing bridges. The new bridges will provide for 12-ft travel lanes and 6-ft shoulders. The construction of these bridges will require an off-site detour around the project sites utilizing AL-118 and I-22.

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.
