Huntsville approves $18.8M resurfacing plan for more than 60 streets
Huntsville, AL – The City Council approved Phase 2 roadwork contracts on May 28, adding street resurfacing, concrete fixes and ADA upgrades citywide.
Huntsville approved two contracts on May 28 for the second phase of its FY 2026 street resurfacing program, putting roadwork into motion on more than 60 streets citywide.
The city said Rogers Group will handle residential street resurfacing for $4,985,450, while Lambert Contracting LLC will do concrete improvements and ADA upgrades under a $3,465,877 contract. Huntsville also said it increased its 2026 resurfacing budget by $500,000 to more than $18.8 million.
The work is spread across the city, not concentrated in one area. The Phase 2 list includes Bailey Cove Road from Cecil Ashburn Road to Weatherly Road, Meridian Street N from Oakwood Avenue NW to Winchester Road NW, Sparkman Drive NW from Pulaski Pike NW to Blue Springs Road, Four Mile Post from Hickory Hill to Whitesburg, and Winchester Road NW from Meridian Street to Valhalla Cemetery.
What this means for drivers
The council vote is an approval step, not a finished-road result. It moved the contracts forward, but it does not mean every listed road will be resurfaced at once or closed at the same time.
For drivers, the practical effect is likely to be more construction activity on both neighborhood streets and important commuting routes. That can mean lane shifts, short delays and temporary work zones as crews move from one stretch to another.
For residents living along the list, the long-term payoff should be better pavement, concrete repairs and accessibility improvements once the work is complete.
How Huntsville handles resurfacing
The city’s repaving and street repair page says residents can track roadwork updates and report road problems through city channels. That makes the resurfacing program part of a broader maintenance system, not just a one-off project.
The next thing to watch is scheduling. Huntsville has not promised a single finish date for the whole package, so residents should check for street-by-street updates before assuming a route is already done or unaffected.
