The 2nd Avenue overpass over the railroad tracks is well under way. It will start from 15th street and pass over the tracks to the North. Then, travel between Coleman Coliseum and the Law School and connect to Paul Bryant Drive just East of the Baseball stadium.
Also, I'm hearing that, since plans for the new Amtrak railroad station that was to be built in Alberta City have fallen through because of "sightline" problems, the city and the University are considering building it at the new overpass on the South side of the tracks. The University bought the Dollar General property when getting ready for the overpass and may be willing to donate that property if the city of Tuscaloosa will commit to building the new train station there. More info on that at a later date.
