The City is currently working with A&M to request permission to install the northern section to connect this to the A&M Campus.

The City is responsible for the next phase of construction on Winchester Road. This phase contains 2.25 miles of new five-lane roadway to connect to the portion currently under construction by the County. The design is approximately 90% complete, with right-of-way acquisition at approximately 60% complete. There are over 100 parcels to be acquired, and we anticipate this to be complete by late 2021. Construction is anticipated to start in early 2022 pending utility relations being completed.

The design and right-of-way acquisition are approximately 95% complete for the project. There are a total of eighteen (18) structures to be removed with one structure remaining in acquisition. The City has begun the process of structure removal to clear the site for roadway work to begin. Utility relocations are anticipated to begin in spring 2021 with roadway construction scheduled to begin shortly thereafter.

ALDOT has completed right-of-way acquisition for the project. There are eleven (11) structures to be demolished and removed prior to beginning utility relocations on site. ALDOT is currently performing removal of all structures in conflict with the roadway project. Multiple utility conflicts exist on site. Utility relocations are scheduled to begin late 2020 with sanitary sewer being the first to get relocated. Roadway construction is anticipated to start late 2021 or after all utilities are complete with relocation.

The contractor has shifted traffic to the two new lanes in this area – the northbound lanes between Martin Rd. and Edgewater Dr. and to the north half of Martin Road from Gate 7 to Belmont Hills Apartments. This has allowed the contractor to begin raising the Edgewater Dr. intersection’s new finished grade to tie in traffic to the new northbound lanes. Edgewater intersection will be closed for approximately 3 weeks, weather permitting, with a detour to use Nature’s Way during this time.
Crews are working to complete the signal, paving, concrete and landscaping work on the north end of the project limits. The contractor continues working to have the Madison Blvd. intersection and four lanes of Zierdt Road between Madison Blvd. and Mountainbrook complete and open to full traffic as soon as possible. Crews are also working on Martin Rd. west of Zierdt following the traffic shift on Zierdt Road. They will complete the south side of Martin Road first, shift traffic to the south and then complete the north side of Martin Road towards the intersection. This provides a safe transition to the new intersection for this section of Martin Road.
Crews are also currently working to demolish and reconstruct the existing southbound lanes of Zierdt Road south to Martin Road to include new drainage, curb, subgrade, paving and multiuse path for the remainder of the project duration.
The projected completion for the entire project is the Fall of 2021, weather permitting.
