Blackridge first bridge 8-14-17
Stadium Trace Parkway now ends just shy of this bridge being built over CSX railroad tracks in Hoover, Alabama. This bridge will enable people to get to the Blackridge community just southwest of Lake Wilborn.
The Hoover Planning and Zoning Commission tonight approved final plans for the first phase of the extension of Stadium Trace Parkway.
This is the road that takes people to the new Lake Wilborn subdivision, which will contain 499 houses just past Bumpus Middle School.
The road now has been extended almost all the way to the CSX railroad tracks that go through that area.
Richard Johnson, a representative for Signature Homes (the development company), tonight said the company is getting ready to start construction on the first five speculative lots. He was not yet sure when lots or homes would be available to purchase.
Once Signature Homes finishes construction of a bridge over the CSX railroad tracks, final plans can be approved for the first phase of the Blackridge community, which is just southwest of Lake Wilborn. The planning commission in July approved preliminary plans for the first 135 home sites in Blackridge. Once completed, Blackridge will have 1,009 houses, according to current plans.
