GLENCOE– U.S. 431 resurfacing through Glencoe could begin today, bringing daily single-lane closures once construction starts.
The Alabama Department of Transportation identified Thursday, November 12, as a possible starting date in its November 10 announcement. However, the actual start has not been confirmed.
The $5.7 million project covers five miles from the Calhoun County line to Banks Street in Gadsden. Contractor Vulcan Materials will remove the old pavement and resurface the divided, four-lane highway.
Meanwhile, a subcontractor began installing project signs last week. ALDOT said pavement removal would begin after crews install all required signs.
Once work begins, drivers should expect daily single-lane closures and use caution through the construction zone. They can also check ALGO Traffic or its mobile app for current road conditions.
Additional Work Along the Corridor
A separate $1.1 million intersection project is already underway at U.S. 431 and Green Valley Road in Glencoe. That project includes acceleration lanes and traffic-signal changes designed to keep one direction of highway traffic flowing continuously.
In addition, Vulcan expects to complete final paving at the intersection while resurfacing U.S. 431.
ALDOT also anticipates seeking bids in early 2027 to resurface another 2.5 miles, from Banks Street to U.S. 278 in Gadsden.
