New train overpass opens near University of Alabama campus
Staff report
The Second Avenue train overpass connecting 15th Street with Paul W. Bryant Drive near the University of Alabama campus is now open.
On Tuesday, UA officials held a photo opportunity for local media to showcase the new overpass, which was scheduled to open to the public at 5:30 a.m. Wednesday.
The overpass features a 10-foot-wide bike/walking path, 4-foot-wide protective space with a concrete barrier and plenty of lighting.
According to UA, more than 70,000 vehicles cross the train tracks running along the south edge of campus every day. UA officials say the new three-lane overpass will help traffic flow to and from campus, as well as improve emergency response times by providing an alternate access route to nearby DCH Regional Medical Center, the city s largest hospital.
