ALDOT’s Anniston District continues to serve Calhoun County with a team-centered focus to keep motorists moving.

Traditionally, District 42 sees some of the most severe weather in the Alexander City Area.

Crews effectively respond to tornadoes and snow/ice events whenever they hit the most populated district in East Central Alabama.

With a dozen maintenance team members, plus a dozen more in management and CE&I, the team has proven its self-sufficiency.

Alexander City Area Engineer Shannon Jones credits Interim District Administrator Stephen Blair for leading help leading the group during a period of transition.

The group works as a team as it shares knowledge and skills to fulfill ALDOT’s mission.

Assistant District Administrator Kyle Freeman has been the heart and soul of that operation.

He embraces every challenge and uses his years of experience to maintain the expected level of performance for the district.

Project Manager Jessee Woodrow is another valuable piece of the efficiency equation.

Woodrow leads his CE&I team of six to oversee constantly challenging construction projects.

District 42 deserves credit for the Anniston Eastern Bypass, I-20 widening and Calhoun County access management improvements.

With a district which serves 116,000 residents, comes an uncompromising standard of maintenance excellence.  

Expectations are high in Calhoun County and ALDOT serves its communities and visitors by caring for highways which have historically provided some of the best rideability in the state.
