The Alabama Department of Transportation (ALDOT) will implement a detour beginning Monday, September 9, 2024, as part of the ongoing landslide repair project on SR-41 at milepost 65.4, between the communities of Hybart and Franklin.
This marks the next phase of a critical project that began in June 2024, aimed at addressing the damage caused by a significant landslide.
Background
The landslide, which occurred in the fall of 2023 following a period of heavy rainfall, severely impacted the roadway, necessitating immediate traffic restrictions. Since then, the affected section of SR-41 has been reduced to a single lane, causing considerable inconvenience and raising safety concerns for commuters and residents alike.
To facilitate the next phase of repairs, traffic will be detoured via SR-21/47 and SR-265, beginning on September 9. This detour is expected to remain in place until November 11, 2024.
Crews will be working diligently to stabilize the landslide-affected area and restore the roadway to full operational capacity as soon as possible. ALDOT appreciates the public’s patience and cooperation as they work to complete these necessary repairs.
