Re opening of highway 21 in Talladega delayed



A representative from the Alabama Department of Transportation says that Alabama  highway 21 in Talladega county will not re-open as anticipated because of unforeseen circumstances regarding emergency sinkhole repairs.  ALDOT bureau chief Tony Harris, said when the excavation of the second sinkhole began, workers discovered a much larger area than anticipated needed to be unearthed.  Workers from Newell Roadbuilders Inc. of Hope Hull started work on the $9.4 million project Aug. 14. 
The original terms of the contract with Newell Roadbuilders Inc. called for the road to be re-opened within 21 days of the project start date.
