Gadsden announces two-week road closure for sidewalk improvements downtown
Gadsden Sidewalk Improvement Project to Begin April 29, 2025
GADSDEN, Ala. — Starting April 29, 2025, Chestnut Street in downtown Gadsden will be closed between South 6th Street and South 7th Street, adjacent to St. James Catholic Church. This closure, scheduled to last approximately two weeks, is part of a larger initiative to enhance sidewalks in the area.
The City of Gadsden is spearheading this improvement project with funding from the Alabama Department of Transportation’s Transportation Alternatives Program, supported by additional federal grants. The goal is to significantly improve walkability and accessibility within the city, making it more pedestrian-friendly for residents and visitors alike.
As the project unfolds, local authorities encourage residents to plan for potential detours and to remain patient while work is completed. This development is part of Gadsden’s ongoing efforts to enhance urban infrastructure and promote safer, more accessible public spaces.
In related news, construction on Richard Arrington Jr. Boulevard in Birmingham will also affect traffic, while work on North Chalkville Road may disrupt local traffic flow. Residents in these areas should stay informed of the developments to navigate the changes effectively.
