CENTRE– Drivers should prepare for Route 283 paving this week as a $725,566 resurfacing project advances in Centre.

The Alabama Department of Transportation says contractor Wiregrass Construction will resurface about three-quarters of a mile. The project runs between U.S. 411 and Alabama 9.

Crews began milling away the old pavement on November 2. Although weather could affect the schedule, ALDOT anticipates paving during the week of November 9. The agency expects completion by the end of the month.

Meanwhile, drivers should expect daily single-lane closures along the route. ALDOT urges motorists to use caution while traveling through the work zone.

For most of the project corridor, Route 283 has five lanes, including a center turn lane. Near U.S. 411, however, the route divides around the old Cherokee County Courthouse, with a roadway on either side.
