Hwy 181

 

ROUTE CORRIDOR STUDY

Volkert  Engineering has been selected to do a new environmental engineering study for widening Highway 181 from Hwy 104 south to CR 32 and beyond in east Fairhope according to ALDOT's area engineer Matthew Eriksen. 

It should take 8-12 months to come up with three possible plans, then public meetings with residients along the highway will be held before a final route is selected.

After that, right-of-way acquisition will begin -- and then utility relocation and actual construction only when funding sources are found, he added.

The new study is needed because of the "rapid urbanization" of the area.

Location: Fairhope, AL 36532, USA

Better late than never, but this should have happened years ago. It’ll take years before anything happens and they will be squeezing all the traffic through the limited infrastructure tube.

"The Funds" will never materialize before the inevitable government money laundering and debt both collapse and dry up all "funds" for generations

Wait until the next major hurricane comes and all these new residents south of I-10 try to evacuate. Going to be a catastrophe. The diverging diamond at I-10/ 181 has major design defects going northbound. No additional capacity was added during this project. All three lanes should have been extended to Hwy 31.
