Did you Know? During road construction projects, it is common to unearth hidden historic infrastructure. As construction workers were working near the Roundabout, a previously unknown manhole was found with an expansion plug seal beneath the lid. The lid was stamped with the letters MLRRCO. This was an old electrical manhole for the Mobile Light and Railroad Company, which operated the old trolley downtown between 1897 and 1939.
