A $1.9 million resurfacing project is now underway along State Route 20, targeting a heavily traveled stretch between Hillsboro and Courtland.
According to the Alabama Department of Transportation, work began Monday, April 6, and is expected to continue through the summer.
The project will cover more than five miles of the divided four-lane highway, stretching from west of Kirby Road in Hillsboro to State Route 33 in Courtland. Contractor Grayson Carter and Son Contracting will handle milling, resurfacing and striping along the corridor.
Drivers should expect traffic impacts throughout the duration of the project. ALDOT officials say daily single-lane closures in either direction are likely as crews work along the route.
Motorists are encouraged to check real-time traffic conditions through ALGOtraffic.com for real-time updates.
The current project builds on improvements completed last year, when Wiregrass Construction resurfaced approximately 5.5 miles of SR-20 from the Morgan County line to just east of the current work zone near Hillsboro.
With this next phase, crews will continue westward, extending the resurfaced portion of SR-20 between Hillsboro and Courtland as part of ongoing efforts to maintain and improve one of the region’s key transportation routes.
