ALDOT’s Anniston District continues to serve Calhoun County with a team-centered focus to keep motorists moving.
Traditionally, District 42 sees some of the most severe weather in the Alexander City Area.
Crews effectively respond to tornadoes and snow/ice events whenever they hit the most populated district in East Central Alabama.
With a dozen maintenance team members, plus a dozen more in management and CE&I, the team has proven its self-sufficiency.
“They work as a team, pass along knowledge and skills, and assist each other in accomplishing what is best for ALDOT,” Acting District Administrator Stephen Blair said.
Assistant District Administrator Kyle Freeman has been the heart and soul of that operation.
He embraces every challenge and uses his years of experience to maintain the expected level of performance for the district.
“He is always willing to assist in whatever is needed and follows through in a timely manner,” Blair said.
Project Manager Jessee Woodrow is another valuable piece of the efficiency equation.
Jones said Woodrow leads his CE&I team of six to oversee constantly challenging construction projects.
District 42 deserves credit for the Anniston Eastern Bypass, I-20 widening and Calhoun County access management improvements.
With a district which serves 116,000 residents, comes an uncompromising standard of maintenance excellence.
“ALDOT realizes expectations are high in Calhoun County and ALDOT has served this county well as it historically has had some of the better highways in the State concerning structure and rideability,” Blair said.
