The construction work on two-lane bridge over the Intracoastal Waterway in Gulf Shores is restarted, according to the Alabama Department of Transportation. The contractors, the Scott Bridge Co., is back on the site for the first time since May, when the project was shut down after a Montgomery County Court judge’s injunction put it on a temporary hold.
, and reversed the preliminary injunction that halted the bridge’s construction. The Gulf Shores bridge will be located approximately 1.1 miles west of the BCBC toll bridge. The Supreme Court’s decision is a victory for ALDOT’s effort to complete a toll-free bridge that will reduce traffic congestion to and from Alabama’s Gulf Coast beach communities,” the statement reads. “We are gratified that the Court ruled in our favor so we can get back to work on a project that is sorely needed.”
A $52 million contract was awarded to the Scott Bridge Company last October to build the new structure, though estimates for the complete project are expected to be around $120 million.
