ALDOT to provide road construction update at Trussville May Chamber luncheon

Road construction updates will highlight the Trussville Area Chamber of Commerce luncheon May 19.

Lance Taylor, assistant region preconstruction engineer, from the Alabama Department of Transportation, will provide the updates. The luncheon is sponsored by Cadence Bank and catered by Jim ’N Nick’s. It will begin at 11:30 a.m. at the Trussville Civic Center, followed by Taylor’s presentation at noon. 

Taylor, a 23-year ALDOT veteran, oversees all division preconstruction activities including design, right-of-way and utility relocation for the East Central Region. “I have been working with the city of Trussville on a variety of projects through the years and have enjoyed the relationship we have developed,” he said about speaking to Trussville’s business leaders.

Taylor said he plans to discuss local road projects such as the recently completed resurfacing of Interstate 59, improvements to the I-459/U.S. 11 interchange and Trussville Greenway, as well as touching on regional updates of the Northern Beltline and the I-20/59 central business district bridge replacement in downtown Birmingham. He said he plans to leave time for questions. 

The monthly luncheons begin with a 30-minute network development where members and guests can network and exchange business cards with the 80-to-100 individuals expected to attend. Prior to lunch, the Chamber will honor its monthly Customer Service Award winners. Door prizes also will be given away.
