Alabama Newscenter — Alabama Department of Transportation Moves Forward With City Walk BHAM Project

By Shirley Jackson

The Alabama Department of Transportation (ALDOT) recently announced plans to start construction for City Walk BHAM. The new state-of-the-art multipurpose destination will be underneath the reconstructed Interstate Highway 59/20 bridges. It will be a 31-acre project spanning 10 blocks from 15th Street North to 25th Street North.

Brasfield and Gorrie, the prime contractor, has deployed three crews to meet the timeline within 425 days. After its completion, it will bring the business district and community together to promote tourism.

City Walk BHAM will aim to create a welcoming and inviting pedestrian experience to event venues, including the Birmingham-Jefferson Convention Complex, Boutwell Auditorium, Linn Park and the Birmingham Civil Rights Institute among businesses, restaurants, hotels and other attractions in the area.
