SJR 98 Alabama Senate · 2026 Regular Session

Naming the Lamar S. "Bubba" Woodham, Jr. Highway

This bill proposes naming a specific section of Alabama Highway 9 in Elmore County the Lamar S. "Bubba" Woodham, Jr. Highway to honor his 47-year career with the Alabama Department of Transportation. The legislation requests that the State Department of Transportation coordinate with local officials to designate the road segment between Mt. Hebron Road and Boswell Road and install appropriate signage. The measure recognizes Woodham's service as a civil engineer, surveyor, and retired Navy officer, though it does not mandate the naming but encourages the state to consider it.
