Cahaba River Society recommends the “no build” alternative at this time.
The Alabama Department of Transportation is studying a proposed road that would bring Highway 280 cut-through traffic across Birmingham Water Works lands that protect our drinking water.
The road would bring Highway 280 cut-through traffic across our drinking water source and is intended to open this sensitive area to private development. This would increase risks from construction, urban runoff, forest loss, heavy traffic, and a direct spill into the drinking water for the Birmingham area. Learn more about this and send in a comment BEFORE November 1. (SavetheCahaba.org)
