HUNTSVILLE — The Alabama Department of Transportation advises motorists that resurfacing of  Alabama 40 between from Alabama 35 near Scottsboro to Alabama 71 north of Dutton in Jackson  County may begin Thursday, April 20, weather permitting.  

Expect delays due to single-lane closures during the daytime. Traffic will be stopped in alternating directions and shuttled through the work zone by a pilot car. Please plan additional travel time or use alternate routes.  

The $2.9 million project with Whitaker Contracting will include milling and paving the seven-mile segment. Completion is anticipated this summer.
