Canal Road widening project remains stalled - al.com: "ORANGE BEACH — Three years ago, City Hall sent a $2.7 million check to the state's Transportation Department hoping that doing so would speed up the widening of an often congested stretch of Canal Road.

That money has been spent buying slivers of land from the owners of property along the east-west highway, which is also known as Ala. 180. But construction, once scheduled to begin by 2006 and pushed back twice — first to 2008 then to 2010 — isn't likely to begin anytime soon."
