February 4, 2004 -- A dangerously narrow bridge spanning
Tallasseehatchee Creek just west of Jacksonville on Alabama 204, which has
been the scene of numerous accidents and some fatalities, is scheduled for
replacement beginning soon by the Department of
Transportation.
Traffic will be detoured three miles around the
construction site. Traffic on the east side of the bridge will be
routed onto Broadwell Mill Road, Cedar Springs Drive and then West Point
Road before rejoining Highway 204 near the Angel community.
Detour signs will be
placed as soon as the work begins. The construction will take about a year and will
provide a bridge with wider shoulders.
