-Attention was brought to the need for the project in the Committee of Ways and Means of the Alabama Legislature on [[July 17]], [[1957]] by Jefferson County's "adopted representative", [[Emmett Oden]] of [[Franklin County]]. When he asked about whether the bottleneck would be addressed in the upcoming round of highway improvements, Director Herman Nelson responded that acquisition of right-of-way had already begun.
-Along with projects to widen the highway in [[Walker County]] that were already underway, the result of the 11-mile project was a four-lane United States Route connecting [[Birmingham]] to [[Jasper]].
