Highway 181.

 

EAST FAIRHOPE TRAFFIC CONGESTION

Funding for a preliminary engineering/environmental study has been secured to begin the process of 4-laning Hwy 181 down to CR 32 in east Fairhope (from Hwy 104).

The Eastern Shore MPO recently added the $1.7 million funding to its Long Range Transportation Plan but sources for actual construction-funding still have to be found. 

Completing only to CR 48 (Fairhope Avenue) next is being talked about too.

(Plans are in the works for the southern-most section too, down to US 98. )

Well, it sure sounds great, but at least 20 years before they break dirt to construct. What will we do in the meantime?

Completing the widening of 181 from 104 to 48 would be the best near term bang for the buck in the area. This would also help to prepare for the proposed development of the northwest corner of 181 and 48.

I know without a doubt that if the high up’s that makes these decision’s and makes the big money had to drive 181 all the way to 98 they would have finished this project when they stopped at 104. It has been BAD for years and now with all the new developments it is AWFUL.
