Drivers traveling on Alabama Highway 157 near Cullman Regional Medical Center should schedule a few extra minutes into their travel time starting today. According to Alabama Department of Transportation Division I engineer Johnny Harris, ALDOT plans to transform the bridge at Lake Catoma into an intermediate one-lane bridge for short amounts of time during the day over the next several weeks, in order for materials being used in the construction of the new bridge to be unloaded.
The Cullman County Road Department is currently performing maintenance on County Road 522; and paving on County Road 723, 724 and 725. Regular maintenance, including bushhogging, continues throughout the county.
