One southbound lane of Alabama 59 between 9th Avenue and Pride Blvd in Foley will be closed during daytime hours on weekdays through Sept. 4 as crews complete sidewalk construction along the highway.
The lane will be closed from 8 a.m. until 3 p.m. from Monday through Friday. The work hours were intentionally scheduled to avoid lane closures during morning school traffic due to the project’s proximity to Foley High School and Florence B. Mathis Elementary School. All lanes will be open on Saturdays and Sundays.
The project is now entering its final section between 9th Avenue and Pride Blvd. This portion of the project is more complex due to the narrow right of way and open drainage ditches, which limit the available work area. The temporary lane closure will provide crews with additional space to work safely.
The project will add 1.25 miles of sidewalk on Alabama 59 through the center of Foley when completed.
