Beginning Sunday, Feb. 25, Alabama Power Company (APCO) will repave 11th Street South. The work is expected to be conducted at night, between 7 p.m. and 6 a.m. and will be completed by Feb. 29. The project will affect the section of 11th Street South between 6th and 10th avenues south.
Alabama Power Company began work in late August to move overhead power lines underground along 11th Street South. The phased project has since moved north along 11th Street South and will impact University Boulevard beginning Oct. 29.

As UAB Facilities continues to enhance our campus environment – through new buildings, renovations of buildings and creation of essential utility infrastructure – there are occasional impacts to sidewalks and roadways. This spring, there are seven projects that might require you take an alternative route to your destination.
Take note of these construction projects and graphics to ensure you know what areas to steer clear of. You can also use UAB Transportation’s Blazer Express system to get around campus as routes are altered to avoid these impacts.

After more than a year of planning and site preparation, full-scale demolition and construction will begin this month on the Altec | Styslinger Genomic Medicine and Data Sciences Building. The project’s next step requires Lyons Harrison Research Building (LHRB) to be vacant and closed to pedestrians. The building had been used as a pathway between McCallum Basic Health Science Building (MCLM), Kaul Human Genetics Building, Tinsley Harrison Tower (THT), and Zeigler Research Building (ZRB) to Jefferson Tower and UAB Hospital.
“There will be intense interior demolition in LHRB, which will restrict all pedestrian traffic in the building,” said Charles McKinstry, project manager for Facilities Planning, Design & Construction. “We understand this will be an inconvenience, but we know the end result will be worth it.”
