The paving work on a section of future I-22 between the Walker/Jefferson County Line and west of US 78 is near completion. Guardrails on the main lanes of the freeway are up also, which was part of the paving contract.

However, it will be a while before this opens to traffic. Two additional segments to the west of this one are in the early to middle stages of paving, and will probably be completed late this year or early next year. In addition, another contract will need to be let by the Alabama Department of Transporation (ALDOT) for the striping, signage, and lighting on the entire freeway between Jasper at Exit 65 and Graysville at US 78.

Hopefully the thing will be open to traffic late this year or sometime in 2007.
