US-280 WIDENING UPDATE: Tonight, ALDOT plans to open the first phase of the new Pump House Road Bridge to traffic.
This significant milestone allows crews to demolish the old bridge to make room for an additional US-280 lane in each direction.
🏗️DDI GIRDERS INSTALLED🏗️: Crews installed final girders for the new McAshan Dr. Diverging Diamond Interchange overnight.
The massive spans will serve as the foundation for the upcoming eastbound bridge at Exit 104 on I-59/20 in McCalla.
