McGregor Avenue Project

About the South McGregor Avenue Project

Starting in Spring 2023, the City of Mobile will be working with the Alabama Department of Transportation (ALDOT) on a major construction on S. McGregor Ave. between Dauphin St. and Airport Blvd. Traffic will be limited to residents and emergency vehicles during this time.  All other traffic shall use an alternate route during this time.

The S. McGregor Project has been in the works for more than 15 years.

The construction cost of the project is $16.5 million. Total costs are around $23 million.

Community Meetings

The City of Mobile has already met with three groups of HOA Leadership to discuss the project. Councilman Joel Daves held a Community Meeting on February 7, 2023. Upcoming Community meetings will be announced in the upcoming weeks.

During Construction

The City of Mobile will work to minimize cut-through traffic through the main neighborhoods affected by this project: Llanfair, Yester Oaks, and Country Club Estates. The City will be announcing and promoting suggested alternative routes for residents. Airport Boulevard, Spring Hill Avenue, Old Shell Road, Bit & Spur Road, University Boulevard, Interstate 65 and the I-65 Service Roads will remain open throughout the project. 

Timeline and Start Date

The S. McGregor Project is tentatively scheduled to begin in Spring 2023. Digital signs will go up two to four weeks in advance of the start date. The project will not start until equipment and supplies are on-site so that delays will be minimized. Renderings of the project will be available soon.
