Public meeting coming up on widening Brannon Stand, 605

The city of Dothan wants to hear your opinion — a public involvement meeting is coming up on the widening of Brannon Stand Road and Highway 605.

Leaders are considering adding more lanes, so the Alabama Department of Transportation is performing a road-widening study to determine how useful the work may be as the west side of Dothan grows.

The public meeting is at Westgate Recreation Center on April 16.

Today’s weather: 3/26

Weather on Wednesday will look much like Tuesday; we start the day with fog then mostly a cloud-free sky, and brilliant sunshine will push temperatures above 80 degrees. So after a foggy start look for a beautiful, sunny Spring day.

Tonight will be clear with mild temperatures. Low tonight 51.

Thursday should  be another mostly sunny and warm days, although clouds will be increasing as skies load with moisture for what may be a wet
weekend in the Wiregrass.
