Sidewalk project begins in Aliceville; lighting may be delayed by national backorder
Summary
Aliceville officials said sidewalks work began July 8 with Bull's Construction Group and the city engineer overseeing a roughly six-month project; most concrete work should finish by year-end but lighting installation may be delayed because lights are on back order nationwide.
Aliceville city leaders reported that a long-planned sidewalk project began on July 8 and will run for approximately six months.
The chair of the meeting said the contractor is Bull's Construction Group and that the city’s engineer (name not specified in the record) has begun supervising the work. "This project will take approximately six months to complete," the chair said, and the goal is to finish the bulk of concrete work by year-end.
Council members and staff warned that lighting installation could be delayed because the specific lighting fixtures are on back order across the United States, and they asked residents to expect intermittent congestion during construction from the traffic light to West Alabama Bank. "Please be safe as you go up and down the streets," the chair said.
Officials said the city’s target is to complete the sidewalks before homecoming, but they acknowledged that supply-chain delays for lights could push that timeline.
The council did not take formal action on the project during the meeting; it was reported as a status update and officials said they will provide additional details as procurement and scheduling are finalized.
