GUNTERSVILLE — Work is underway on a project to improve Alabama Highway 69 at Sunset Drive in Guntersville.
The $665,454 project with contractor Rogers Group includes construction of a southbound right-turn lane on Highway 69 and traffic signal upgrades.
Project funding comes from the Alabama Transportation Rehabilitation and Improvement Program-II (ATRIP-II). The Rebuild Alabama Act of 2019 created ATRIP-II to advance projects of local interest on state routes.
The city of Guntersville proposed the project to improve Highway 69 at Sunset Drive and provided matching funds.
ALDOT advises motorists to expect closure of the outside southbound lane. Except briefly during final paving, the boat launch will remain accessible.
ALDOT anticipates completion of the intersection improvements late this year.
