Construction on the Magnolia Avenue – Donahue Drive Intersection Improvements Project continues. Crews are currently finishing up construction along Magnolia Avenue and expect to reopen the closed portion of Magnolia within the next two weeks. Milling and repaving along Magnolia Avenue are expected to begin the week of July 20 – 24. Officials do not anticipate closing any additional portions of road, however, traffic may be reduced to one lane at times during repaving. Motorists are advised to use caution in the area and be alert for flagmen directing traffic. At this time, officials anticipate the project to be complete in time for the start of the fall semester at Auburn University.
Construction also continues along portions of Donahue Drive and Bragg Avenue. The Alabama Department of Transportation (ALDOT) is working to realign Bragg Avenue and Martin Luther King Jr Drive/Alabama Highway 14. The new road is expected to open at the first of September. Officials anticipate the project being complete by the end of October. Citizens are advised to continue to exercise caution in the area and be alert to temporary lane closings and flagmen directing traffic.
