Husky Parkway is an approximately one-mile long, east-west road in Trussville. The road connects Deerfoot Parkway in the east to Trussville-Clay Road in the west, continuing westward as Longmeadow Parkway into the Longmeadow subdivision. It runs just north of Interstate 59.
The portion of Husky Parkway from just east of the Cahaba River to Deerfoot Parkway opened to traffic in 2008, constructed to facilitate traffic to the then-newly constructed Hewitt-Trussville High School.
A planned bridge over the Cahaba, as well as the Hewitt-Trussville Stadium to the west of the river, were put on hold due to archaeological excavation projects on the site. Trussville's Blalock Building submitted the lowest bid and was awarded the stadium contract for $14.6 million. An additional $3.3 million was approved for construction of the bridge and westward connection of Husky Parkway. Construction began on both projects in September 2013, and opened in September 2014. Additional turn lanes were added to Trussville-Clay Road and traffic signals added at that intersection at a cost of $922,875, of which $738,300 was provided by Governor Robert Bentley's Alabama Transportation Rehabilitation and Improvement Program after the city provided its portion of $184,575.
