Roadway Improvement Projects
On May 11, 2023, City Council authorized Mayor Tommy Battle to enter into an agreement with low bidder Grayson Carter & Son Contracting Inc. Because the affected portion of Monroe Road will be closed for construction for about four months, a detour will redirect motorists to Patterson Lane. Construction is underway and utility relocations are ongoing.

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 recently completed portion constructed by the County.

Design is approximately 95% complete. The right-of-way acquisition is complete. Funding for utility relocations was authorized by ALDOT in June 2020. Each utility company will be responsible for designing and performing relocations in conflict with the roadway project.
Roadway construction will start upon the completion of sewer, electrical, fiber and gas relocations. Madison Sewer has relocated a sewer line on the south side of the road. Electric and communication line relocation is ongoing, and gas relocations have been bid and are slated to begin soon.
Other utility relocations (water and COH sanitary sewer) are anticipated to be included in the roadway project scope. The roadway construction will be performed with a detour route in place for motorists to use Trademark Drive to maintain two-way traffic during construction, which is anticipated to begin fall 2023. This roadway construction project duration is estimated to be 18 months.
