Posted on: Apr 22nd, 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 be temporarily closed to traffic beginning Monday, April 27, 2026, for roadway reconstruction and large drainage structure improvements.

This temporary closure is expected to last approximately two months; however, all construction projects are weather-dependent.

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

Motorists should allow extra travel time, as Kali-Oka Road just north of Highway 158 will be closed in both directions during this temporary closure. The Highway 158 exit will remain open, and southbound travel from the exit will still be 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.
