SUMMARY: The 6.2-mile Gordo Bypass project in Alabama has two phases: the grade and drain phase completed in 2023, and the base and pave phase expected to start this year. The project aims to improve safety, mobility, and commerce for motorists in West Alabama. Once finished, US-82 will have four lanes from the Mississippi state line to Tuscaloosa. The project is expected to cost around 63 million dollars and will increase the capacity of Highway 82 while decreasing heavy truck traffic through Gordo.
