OPELIKA, Ala. (WTVM) - If your commute takes you on North Uniroyal Road in Opelika, you’ll need to plan for an alternate route for a while.
The road is closed to traffic while a bridge replacement project is being underway.
In late November, crews began relocating a portion of a gas line that was in conflict with the new bridge.
In a statement online, the City of Opelika thanked drivers for their patience while crews work on this “much-needed” improvement.
The bridge replacement is expected to be completed in six months.
