Road Construction Updates

Motorists traveling along Jack Springs Road in Atmore should prepare for lane closures and potential traffic delays as road improvement work continues through November 23.

The week of November 9, crews will be performing ditch regrading operations throughout the project area, which may require temporary lane closures.

Beginning Monday, November 16, the contractor will begin road-widening operations. This work will take place throughout the entire project limits north of I-65 and will involve rolling lane closures as crews progress along the roadway. Ditch widening and regrading may also take place simultaneously, potentially resulting in multiple lane closures at different locations.

What motorists need to know:
– No detours are planned during this phase of construction.
– Lane closures will begin around 7:00 a.m. and remain in place until approximately 5:30 p.m., or until crews finish work for the day.
– Closures will move with the work and may remain in the same location throughout the day.
– The roadway will be reopened at the end of each workday, with construction resuming the following morning.
– Significant traffic delays are possible.

Motorists are strongly encouraged to use alternate routes when possible, allow additional travel time, and exercise caution when traveling through the construction area. Please remain alert, obey posted signage, and watch for workers and construction equipment along the roadway.

Pow Wow/Thanksgiving Holiday Schedule
Construction activities are expected to continue through Monday, November 23. Crews will perform cleanup operations on Tuesday, November 24, and will not be onsite November 25–29.

We appreciate everyone’s patience and cooperation as these improvements move forward.

A month-long road closure with a detour at Poarch Road is also planned for a future date. Additional information, including the specific dates, will be shared as they become available. Please slow down, stay alert, and help keep our road crews safe.
