Posted on: Aug 11th, 2026 | Announcements Featured News Press Releases Road Closures

MOBILE COUNTY, Ala. – Kali-Oka Road, at the intersection of Highway 158 in north Mobile County, will remain temporarily closed to traffic for approximately two more months as roadway reconstruction and large drainage structure improvements continue.

All construction projects are weather-dependent.

Message boards and detour signs are in place. The detour route for Kali-Oka Road during this closure is to travel westbound on Highway 158 and then northbound on Highway 45 to Kali-Oka Road.

Motorists should continue to allow extra travel time while Kali-Oka Road just north of Highway 158 is closed in both directions. The Highway 158 exit remains open, with southbound access available toward the University of Mobile.

This temporary closure is in Mobile County Commission District 1.

This construction project is funded through the 2020 and 2024 Pay-As-You-Go Transportation Improvement Programs, Rebuild Alabama, and the American Rescue Plan Act. Pay-As-You-Go is a method of financing road and bridge improvements with no new taxes or debt. Funds are collected in advance of each road program. Beginning in 1977, Mobile County’s Pay-As-You-Go has committed more than $1 billion to local road improvements. It has been approved by voters each of the 20 times it has appeared on a ballot.
