Cliff Williams / The Outlook A sewer barely visible crosses under U.S. Highway 280 where the Alabama Department of Transportation is allowing an entrace for a grocery anchored development. The sewer line services a large section on the other side of the road and would be cover by nearly 40 feet of dirt presenting issues for future repairs.

A proposed development at the intersection of U.S. Highway 280 and Highway 63 is being affected by a decision from the Alabama Department of Transportation (ALDOT).

Incentives for the 100,000 square foot development anchored by a grocery store were approved in June 2021. But ALDOT is allowing developers an entrance in the middle of the development from U.S. Highway 280 about 600 feet from Highway 63 according to Alexander City officials.
