Due in part to ALDOT’s takeover of the Foley Beach Express and related roads, I have some upcoming changes to make.  AL 161 extended to I-10.  AL 180 truncation.  Addition of 3 new routes (306, 307, 308).

A post on AARoads says there are AL 161 signs now at/near I-10 so I can probably update that list right away.  Going to wait for confirmation of signage for the others.

ALDOT has started the signing process. AL 161 is now on the exit signage at I-10. A huge AL 308 shield is now up on Foley Beach Express west of Baldwin Beach express. I didn't make it past Foley tonight.

They have a lot of signs still to install, but they have at least started.

Just drove the length of the Baldwin Beach Express and Foley Beach Express this past week with Fall Break trip to Orange Beach.  While signs up at each end for AL 161, absolutely no signage along route itself yet.  I also saw they are working on a new bridge and extension across the Intracoastal Waterway to the west of current bridge.  I'm wondering if state delaying complete resignage until that project is complete as I see that the new bridge will be southbound only and then current bridge will be northbound I assume.
