The five lanes of Canal Ouest road are almost complete; project in the east delayed at least until autumn

(OBA®) – As one Canal Road project comes to a successful conclusion – five lanes connecting State Route 161 to Cyress Village – another is delayed by several months.

Neither project was part of an action point during the regular and working sessions of Orange Beach City Council on May 4, but were discussed as the five-lane project may be coming to an end as soon as possible. May 7.

“We hope to be finished or very close to completing this week,” said Mayor Tony Kennon. “Maybe it’s a few lanes that are lagging behind, but for the most part we think of less than 40 days and 40 nights of rain, I think we can do it. The entrepreneur was very easy to work with and worked very hard in a very difficult situation.

Community development director Kit Alexander said these roadside clean-up projects could still cause minor delays.

“There will always be intermittent lane closures to make these improvements,” Alexander said. “Then we’re going to have the deceleration lane that’s going to be built towards Cypress Village. We are also going to redo the aisles of the school. There may be some intermittent lane closures, but it will be nothing like what we have experienced over the past year.

A second Canal Road project, adding a turning lane in the center, a roundabout near the library, and a 10-foot sidewalk between State Route 161 East and Wilson Boulevard, was scheduled to begin at the dawn of the summer season. . For various reasons, the earliest start, Kennon said, would be in the fall.

“We didn’t realize until we really got into the RESTORE Federal Council review process that they were reviewing documents all the way through, over and over and over and over,” Alexander said. “There is just a lot of documentation that we need to put together because this is a federally funded project. People who spoke to me also told us that people wanted a break from what we experienced on West Canal Road. So after the busy summer season, it is better that we start it then and give people a little break so that we can calm down on the roads.

Alexander said that the project’s start-up estimated at 15 months after the 2021 summer season will have impacts in just one summer season rather than two if it was launched before Memorial Day.
