There’s a new push to help make some commutes a little calmer.
Lawmakers recently passed a resolution calling on the Alabama Department of Transportation to study and prioritize widening I-65 from Tennessee to the Gulf. They are working with Lt. Governor Will Ainsworth urging ALDOT to take action.
Ainsworth recently tweeted that 65 needs to be six lanes throughout the state, adding that 65 needs to be six lanes throughout the state. Ainsworth said the gridlock hurts economic development, frustrates travelers, and raises questions about how tax dollars are being spent. A few years ago, ALDOT widened over three miles of 65 from Pelham to Alabaster. The new proposed plan is to expand the interstate to six lanes along a seven-mile stretch from Alabaster to Calera. The project costs about 200 million dollars in federal, state and local funding.
