HJR 326 Alabama House · 2026 Regular Session

Recognizing the need for a north-south transportation route in East Alabama

HJR 326 is a resolution that formally recognizes the need for a new north-south transportation route in eastern Alabama. The bill highlights that current east-west interstates do not provide a direct connection to the Port of Mobile for manufacturing areas in Talladega, Calhoun, and Etowah counties. It states that such a route would improve economic connectivity, support tourism, and reduce traffic congestion on existing highways. This measure does not authorize funding or construction but serves to express legislative support for future infrastructure planning.
