Highway 280’s new lanes: What to expect

Highway 280 is about to get a major upgrade that could make your daily drive a lot less stressful. With over 100,000 cars using this stretch every day and traffic doubling during rush hour, congestion has been a big safety concern. The Alabama Department of Transportation is adding a lane in each direction between Shades Creek Parkway and I-459 to help ease the bottleneck and reduce accidents. Construction is ramping up this week, especially at night near Pump House Road. How do you think these changes will impact your commute or local businesses along 280? #Transportation #Birmingham #Highway280
