104 resurfacing causing delays from Fairhope to Robertsdale

Posted

SILVERHILL, Alabama — Residents along the Alabama 104 corridor can expect delays for at least another month because of a major resurfacing project.

According to the Alabama Department of Transportation’s letting website, the project was let April 7 for the planing, resurfacing and striping of Alabama 104 from the intersection of Alabama 42 (U.S. 98) in Fairhope to Alabama 59 in Robertsdale.

The 10.49-mile project calls for 75 working days. John G. Walton Construction in Mobile was the low bid on the project at $1,461,087. Other bids came from H.O. Weaver & Sons of Mobile, $1,463,155.65; and Mobile Asphalt Co. of Theodore at $1,474,025.41.

Project manager David Styron said the project has been ongoing for about a month and he expects it will be at least another month before the project is completed.

“It will take at least a couple of weeks to finish the resurfacing and then we still have to finish the striping,” Styron said. “We’ve had some delays, mostly because of the weather.”

The project is one of three major ALDOT resurfacing projects slated for Baldwin County this summer.

On May 26, a project was let for the planing, resurfacing and striping of Interstate 65 from Alabama 225 to the Dyas Creek Bridge, a distance of 8 ½ miles.

A similar project was let June 30 for Interstate 10 east from County Road 64 to the Florida State Line, a distance of 12.374 miles.

H.O. Weaver & Sons was the low bidder for both projects, coming in at just under $6.9 million for the I-65 project and just over $3.6 million for the I-10 project.
