ALDOT proposes $8.2M improvements to US-31 in Spanish Fort, to be completed in 2029

If you are a resident of Spanish Fort, the Alabama Department of Transportation (ALDOT) is looking for public input about improving US-31, US-90, US-98 and State Route 225. The ALDOT will be hosting a meeting about the proposed improvements and answer questions about the concerns of the public.

Here’s a quick rundown:

• What: ALDOT Public Improvement Meeting
• Where: Tues, November 10, from 5-7PM
• When: Spanish Fort Community Center, 7361 Spanish Fort Blvd

The meeting will be an opportunity for residents to discuss public concerns and for the ALDOT to get a better understanding of the residents’ needs. Estimated to cost $8.2 million, the proposed project would take approximately 18 months to complete — with ALDOT’s expected completion date to be in 2029.

The modifications would include:

• Adding through lanes to expand the roadway from four to six lanes.
• Upgrading traffic signals.
• Improving access management to help traffic move more safely and efficiently.
• Adding sidewalks.
• Incorporating other roadway and intersection safety features.
