Even though the State of Alabama  allegedly can't come up with funding to complete the Anniston Eastern Bypass without contributions from small towns($5,000..how far will that go?), somewhere, somehow there is a magic source of money to repave one single stretch of U.S. 431 multiple times.

 The stretch of highway is question extends from Interstate 20 to the junction with Alabama Highway 9 at the community of Hollis Crossroads.

Over the last 6 years the following work has been done:

1. Entire stretch repaved once.

2. Southern half repaved again, but approximately a foot wider.

3. Northern half repaved to match the wider southern half.

4. Multiple spot pavings in the intervening 3 or 4 years.

5. Guard rails added(good!)

This portion of U.S. 431 lies entirely within Cleburne county, Al. The portion of 431 to the south of Hollis CR mostly lies within Randolph county, and appears to have had little maintenance, in stark contrast to the Cleburn county portion.

This area is in District 13 which is represented by Senator Gerald Dial. Perhaps Senator Dial could see fit to contribute some of the funding used to perpetually repave this short stretch of highway, to the Anniston Eastern Bypass which has been in various states of incompletion for years and years.

I would also suggest that if this road ACTUALLY needed repaving with pavement and not pork, then we the taxpayers got screwed with the first 1 or 2 paving jobs, didn't we?
