I-59 Widening and Reconstruction Project

under construction

The Alabama Department of Transportation (ALDOT) is undertaking a $70.4 million project to reconstruct and widen a 3.8-mile section of Interstate 59 between the I-459 interchange and Chalkville Mountain Road in Trussville, Alabama. The project involves expanding the highway from four lanes to six lanes, reconstructing pavement, upgrading drainage, installing new lighting and signage, rebuilding interchange ramps, replacing bridge decks, and making pavement improvements on portions of I-459. The project uses rubblization to recycle existing concrete pavement and aims to improve safety, traffic flow, and reduce congestion on a heavily trafficked corridor.
