ALDOT awards bid for intersection improvements on U.S. 280

The Alabama Department of Transportation announced May 17 it has awarded a $15.6 million project, which will improve 27 intersections along U.S. 280 in Shelby and Jefferson counties. The project was awarded to Dunn Construction and APAC Mid-South Inc. of Birmingham as a joint venture, according to an ALDOT statement. The intersections are along a stretch of about nine miles on U.S. 280 between Hollywood Boulevard and Hugh Daniel Drive. During construction, workers will add turn lanes and make changes in traffic signals to reduce congestion.

Safety and Security

The EPHOA has developed the Realtime Security Alert System (RSAS) to quickly communicate potential safety and security-related issues to the residents of Eagle Point. The RSAS enables users to receive SMS text messages or emails related to street names in Eagle Point subdivision, as such notices are published on the website of the Shelby County Sheriff’s Office Dispatch Log (http://shelbyso.com/ or http://dispatchlog.shelbyal.com). The RSAS continuously monitors the ShelbySO Dispatch Log for activity involving street names in Eagle Point subdivision, and automatically sends Alerts via SMS text message to the EPHOA Safety & Security Monitors. The Monitors will immediately assess the content of the Alert and use judgment and established priority guidelines to determine whether to broadcast the Alert to the entire Network. Eagle Point residents may log in at the homepage (http://www.ephoa.org/) and click on the link at the top labeled "ALERTS RSAS" to review terms of use and subscribe to the RSAS.
