Public house to display Highway 280 plans
November 9, 2011 11:02 AM
Drivers who frequent 280 regularly can learn more on Wednesday about what is in the works to improve the congested traffic.
The Regional Planning Commission of Greater Birmingham will host a public open house at the Marriott Hotel on 280. It begins at 3:00 p.m. Wednesday afternoon and will run until 9:00 p.m. The event is open to the public.
The state has recommended an elevated highway, but several cities along 280 oppose that idea. A grassroots organization has offered an alternative plan.
No emissions tests are currently scheduled. Testing will return in March.
