Homewood Road Work Starts Now | Birmingham News

Drivers in Homewood, Alabama, brace for major roadwork on US-31’s Old Montgomery Highway—2.4 miles from Merchants Walk to Shades Crest Road—set to last nine months with overnight lane closures (7 PM to 6 AM). The project includes median concrete work, grading for widened lanes, and upgraded traffic signals, with resurfacing slated later; completion targeted for June 2027, funded by a $2 million state grant. This isn’t the only construction: daytime closures near the new Piggly Wiggly and ongoing work on the Hollywood Boulevard overpass add to the chaos. Officials say it’s all about long-term safety and efficiency, even if short-term headaches are unavoidable. Stay alert—traffic alerts will evolve as phases progress.
