Mobile Begins Work On Broad Street

MOBILE, Ala. — The City of Mobile has begun work on Broad Street, which is now closed from Government Street to the roundabout at the intersection of Canal Street. Crews have begun replacing underground utilities and adding new curbs, ramps and drainage features to the area. This section of Broad Street will be closed for several months as work continues. During the closure, Washington Avenue will be used as a detour from Government to Canal streets. There will be multiple signs marking the detour while the road is closed. “This work is transforming the gateway to our downtown into a modern, walkable, bikeable space that is connecting neighborhoods and businesses to one another,” Mayor Sandy Stimpson said.
