Contract Awarded For Foley Road Extension

FOLEY, Ala. — Foley is moving forward with a road extension project that will connect one of its primary north-south arteries to State Route 59, the OBA website reports. At a recent council meeting, the city awarded a bid of $4.5 million to McElhenney Construction of Mobile for the project extending Juniper Street south and then west to a connection to the state highway. Goodwyn Mills Cawood tabulated the bids on the project and will provide construction engineering and inspections services on the project for $245,000. Juniper runs from Highway 98 on the north and currently ends at County Road 20 in a corridor east of State Route 59. It will eventually meet with the intersection of County Road 20 South. Construction could begin by the end of the year but will likely start after January 1.
