ALDOT will implement a new traffic pattern for the Gordo Bypass project on US-82 in Pickens County on Tuesday, July 28, weather permitting.

As part of the change, drivers on US-82 will shift onto the new westbound lanes while the eastbound lanes remain under construction from the Pickens-Tuscaloosa county line to approximately one mile west of the Town of Gordo.

Motorists should expect delays and intermittent traffic stoppages throughout the day as crews safely transition traffic to the new alignment.

The existing US-82 will remain open between Pickens County Road 33 (Sand Springs Road) and the western Gordo town limits. Motorists traveling to or from SR-86 should use Pickens County Road 33 and the existing US-82 to access the highway.

Drivers should also use caution at the intersection of the new US-82 alignment and SR-159, where traffic will be controlled by a four-way stop.

Crews will continue working on the project with an expected completion date of early summer 2027.
