Overpass Construction On Research Park Boulevard Causing Traffic Problems
Madison County, AL - Thousands of drivers in Madison County can expect some inconvenient changes during their commute.
A major construction project began Monday on Research Park Boulevard. Workers have permanently closed crossovers at Dan Tibbs and Blake Bottom roads. The State Department of Transportation is building an overpass at the intersection of Research Park Boulevard and Highway 53. Because of the construction drivers will be detoured nearly two miles out of the way.
County resident Bill Bowen isn't too happy about that prospect. "I'm not going up there and turning around because its going to be a mess and I hope its going to be the biggest mess" Bowen said. "And I hope it backs up plum to the arsenal". Some other residents like Vera Stancil are being more optimistic about the road project. "Well its growing pains, but if we want progress we've got to put up with it for awhile" Stancil said. "And I think it's a great idea, we need an overpass."
15,000 motorists use travel Blake Bottom road everyday. The project could take as long as two years to complete. Thousands of residents living in the Blake Bottom area have signed a petition asking the state to build an overpass for Dan Tibbs and another for Blake Bottom Roads to help ease traffic.

Headache Reliever for Madison Drivers
Madison city officials voted to acquire the right of way for the County Line Road intersection at Interstate 565. It's the beginning of a highly anticipated road project for both drivers and business owners.
Arbor Crossing is one of the many new shopping centers to pop up in Madison on County Line Road. With the grand opening just several weeks away, property owner, Scott Welch, can't wait for the new exit and entrance ramps to be added at the County Line Road interchange.
"Traffic is beginning to be a problem here and so, easier access to get in and off County Line Road and 565 will certainly help me with the renting of my space, I'm sure," said Welch.
The city took the first step in the project by acquiring the right of way at the intersection.
