Road Work on Highway 280 Kicks Off with Lane Closures Ahead
*November 15, 2025 – WBRC News Team*
Drivers be prepared! Significant road work has officially commenced on Highway 280, bringing lane closures that are expected to challenge commuters and local residents alike. The construction began early this morning and will specifically focus on sections near Pump House Road, requiring considerable adjustments for travelers navigating this bustling corridor.
As the work gets underway, motorists can expect single-lane restrictions that may lead to delays during peak traffic hours. Local authorities advise drivers to seek alternative routes whenever possible to minimize congestion. “We know this is going to be an inconvenience for many, but the improvements are necessary for the overall safety and efficiency of the highway,” commented a representative from the Department of Transportation.
The road work is part of a broader initiative to enhance road safety, repair critical infrastructure, and improve traffic flow on one of the busiest highways in the region. The renovation is projected to last several weeks, with crews working diligently to mitigate disruptions while ensuring the quality of the work.
Residents of the Pump House Road neighborhood have expressed mixed feelings about the construction. While many understand the need for upgrades, they also voice concerns over increased noise and traffic during the construction phase. “It’s bound to be a hassle,” remarked local resident Sarah Thompson. “But if it makes for better roads in the long run, I suppose we’ll have to deal with it.”
