(WTVY) - The Alabama Department of Transportation is seeking public input on a proposal to widen State Route 167 from Enterprise to Troy.ALDOT hosted one of two public meetings for the project Monday night. The second meeting will take place in Troy on Tuesday night.ALDOT has proposed that about 31 miles of the roadway become a five-lane highway with a middle turn lane before transitioning to a four-lane divided highway from Troy to Enterprise.State Route 167 is a popular route from Troy and places north to Panama City Beach.The goal is to improve hurricane evacuation by giving the road the capacity to handle more vehicles. Traffic backs up along the road now. Those problems get worse when residents from coastal Alabama or Florida use the road to evacuate.Candace Whetstone, a communications specialist with ALDOT, said U.S. 231 becomes congested during hurricane evacuations.“On US 231, it gets pretty congested during hurricane evacuations. So, if we are able to four-lane State Route 167 between Enterprise and Troy, it will help for us to be able to use both of those segments in harmonization so that we can move evacuees more efficiently through that corridor,” Whetstone said.ALDOT believes more lanes will help ease traffic problems and provide another option besides U.S. 231.“We definitely want to hear from the public and hear their views and their perspectives of what they think should happen in their community,” Whetston said.Download the WTVY News4 app to get alerts and stories the moment they are published.
