ENTERPRISE, Ala. - After dozens of accidents, some of them serious, improvements are coming to a dangerous Enterprise intersection. A traffic signal should make the Alabama Highway 27 intersection with Shellfield Road safer and improve traffic flow after dozens of accidents over the past several years.
The money for the improvements comes from the Alabama Transportation Rehabilitation and Improvement Program, funded by increased gasoline taxes approved by state lawmakers several years ago.The City of Enterprise contributed $400,000 to cover engineering and design costs. “Improving this intersection has been a top priority for me, the Enterprise City Council, and our residents for years,” said Mayor William E. Cooper. “This project directly addresses long-standing safety concerns and growing traffic demands in our community. We’re proud to invest in solutions that protect our citizens, and we’re grateful for ALDOT’s continued partnership in bringing this critical improvement to life.” While ALDOT officials first proposed a roundabout, additional traffic studies convinced them otherwise.Download the WTVY News4 app to get alerts and stories the moment they are published.
