All lanes of SR-304/Huntsville Brownsferry Road in Limestone County are now open to traffic. The $13.3 million Rebuild Alabama project has transformed the two-lane county road into a five-lane state highway between US-31 and I-65. The Alabama Department of Transportation (ALDOT) previously widened the overpass on SR-304 at I-65 Exit 347 in a $2.8 million project. In total, the state has invested over $16 million to enhance the corridor connecting to Greenbriar Parkway.
The project included constructing two bridges at Swan Creek and a four-barrel bridge culvert at Old Schoolhouse Branch. Improvements at the US-31 intersection feature upgraded traffic signals, additional turn lanes, and turn lane extensions. At I-65, besides the wider overpass, signals were added at the interchange ramps.
Today's opening of the additional two travel lanes and center turn lane marks substantial completion of the project by contractor Rogers Group. ALDOT advises motorists that the area remains a work zone, with temporary lane closures possible for final tasks such as installing permanent striping and markers.
