Record Breaking Project In Alabama

July 2010

Construction is expected to begin around August 1 on the most expensive highway contract ever awarded by the Alabama Department of Transportation.

The nearly $169 million project will provide for 1 ½ miles of ramps and bridges that will connect Corridor X with Interstate 65 at Birmingham. It will feature an interchange 85 feet tall.

Archer Western Contractors is aiming to complete the project in 2014. It will essentially finish the Alabama portion of Corridor X between Birmingham and Memphis, Tennessee.
