Work On Highway 29 Slows Century Traffic

February 18, 2010

29lanesfront2.jpgMotorists traveling on North Century Boulevard (Highway 29) between Cottage Street and Jackson Street in Century encountered delays Thursday as large pieces of concrete culvert were unloaded and installed.

Crews from Coastal Materials restricted traffic to one lane as they performed drainage work along the roadway.

Coastal Materials of Alabama was awarded a $480-thousand for drainage improvement on Highway 29 from south of Jackson Street to north of Cottage Street, in Century. Improvements consist of installing box culverts, replacing existing sidewalks in the area, and constructing pedestrian railing. Motorists can expect intermittent lane shifts and/or restrictions through the end of the project this spring.

    It may be best to just try and drive around the work being done. Try to avoid the work area all together. You are right this area is very busy and congested.

    Thank you men & women who do these jobs, without hazard pay. Thank you Angi for reminding us all that all these men & women need to go home safely after the day is over.

    Hope everyone pays attention in this area where these people are working. Slow down while going through the working section, we don’t need any workers ran over, like the incident a few months back on hiway 31 north in flomaton…
