Aldine Mail Route section to be improved with dual lanes

Construction is expected to start later this year to convert a 2.5-mile stretch of Aldine Mail Routte from Airline to Aldine Westfield to a four-lane, divided road with traffic signal upgrades.
A .6-mile section between Airline and Lillja will be divided road-way that includes the existing Hawkins Street alignment.
The Hawkins alignment, which is south of Aldine Mail Route, will become a two-lane, eastbound roadway. The existing Aldine Mail Route will be a two lane, west-bound road. The project also includes storm sewers, roadside ditches, turnaround streets and wheelchair accesible pedestrian ramps.
