HUNTSVILLE — A long-awaited North Memorial Parkway overpass project will start Monday.
Construction will start on the $34 million, multi-year project to add an overpass and service roads on U.S. 231/431 at Mastin Lake Road, extending the North Memorial Parkway expressway to south of Winchester Road, according to the Alabama Department of Transportation.
Weather permitting, contractor Rogers Group anticipates beginning work Monday.
The initial work will be the installation of temporary barriers along the outer (east) side of the northbound roadway, ALDOT said. This will reduce the highway to two lanes for northbound traffic from Mastin Lake Road to the Stallworth Road entrance to Alabama A&M University.
ALDOT said to expect delays in traffic and drive with caution in the two-mile work zone.
During the first phase of the project, according to ALDOT, traffic will be shifted to the inside lanes of the existing roadway for construction of northbound and southbound service roads.
During the second phase, traffic will be shifted to the newly constructed service roads while the overpass and mainline are constructed in the center.
The project is anticipated to take more than three years to complete, ALDOT said.
