County approves ALDOT agreements for transportation projects including Capshaw Road intersection changes
Summary
The Limestone County Commission unanimously approved resolutions authorizing agreements with the Alabama Department of Transportation for a Section 53.10 Transportation Assistance Program award and for intersection modifications at East Limestone Road and Capshaw Road.
At its meeting the Limestone County Commission voted unanimously to approve resolutions authorizing agreements with the Alabama Department of Transportation for a Section 53.10 Transportation Assistance Program award and for intersection modifications at East Limestone Road and Capshaw Road. The commission also authorized a named representative to sign the transportation agreement on the county’s behalf.
The actions matter because they commit the county to participate in state-administered transportation financing and to proceed with engineering changes at a key intersection. Commissioners said there was no discussion before each vote.
Commissioner Townsend moved to approve a resolution to participate in a 2026 severe-weather preparedness tax holiday and later moved the transportation-related resolution; Commissioner Samet seconded the ALDOT-authorizing resolution. The commission then approved a separate resolution to enter into an agreement with the state for intersection modifications on East Limestone Road and Capshaw Road; that motion was moved by Commissioner Turner and seconded by Commissioner Samet. All votes were unanimous.
The resolution authorizing an ALDOT agreement names Krista McCurry to enter into the agreement on behalf of the Limestone County Commission and cites the Section 53.10 Transportation Assistance Program as the financing mechanism. The commission approved a separate ALDOT-related resolution specifically authorizing intersection modifications at East Limestone Road and Capshaw Road and to install a roundabout (as described in the agenda item).
There was no recorded public discussion or requests for staff follow-up during the motions. The measures passed with an affirmative vote from Commissioners Townsend, Samet, Turner and Gatlin.
The commission will move forward with the ALDOT agreements and the intersection project per the approved resolutions; the next procedural steps—contract execution, schedules, or construction timing—were not specified in the meeting record.
