2nd Avenue & 15th Street Intersection

Now that the 2nd Avenue Overpass project is complete, the University is proposing to widen the previously deferred connector road from the southern terminus of the Overpass south to the intersection of 2nd Avenue and 15th Street (AL HWY 215) including the 15th Street intersection. This will include University standard decorative traffic signals at 15th Street and lighting along 2nd Avenue south. The University also proposes to add new sidewalks that will tie into future City Walk sidewalks along 15th Street and along 14th Street to the west and landscaping along 15th Street and 2nd Avenue to improve the aesthetics of the new gateway into campus. University standard signage and wayfinding will also be included. 

The Alabama Transportation Rehabilitation and Improvement Program-II (ATRIP-II) was established to rehabilitate and improve transportation infrastructure by funding projects of local benefit. The City of Tuscaloosa, in partnership with the University, was awarded $761,300 towards these improvements along 15th Street (AL SR 215) as part of the Project.
