The Alabama Department of Transportation (ALDOT) recently announced plans to start construction for City Walk BHAM. The new state-of-the-art multipurpose destination will be underneath the reconstructed Interstate Highway 59/20 bridges. It will be a 31-acre project spanning 10 blocks from 15th Street North to 25th Street North.
Brasfield and Gorrie, the prime contractor, has deployed three crews to meet the timeline within 425 days. After its completion, it will bring the business district and community together to promote tourism.
City Walk BHAM will aim to create a welcoming and inviting pedestrian experience to event venues, including the Birmingham-Jefferson Convention Complex, Boutwell Auditorium, Linn Park and the Birmingham Civil Rights Institute among businesses, restaurants, hotels and other attractions in the area.

Breaking a century-old tradition in the name of health and safety, the largest convention organization in the world has moved its annual in-person event to a virtual format for the second time in as many years, cancelling nearly 6,000 conventions in 240 lands.
For 41 consecutive years, the summers in Birmingham (AL) featured Jehovahâs Witnesses streaming into the city stay in hotels and fill restaurants as they held their conventions at the Birmingham Jefferson Convention Complex (BJCC), now the Legacy Arena. In 2020, the pandemic unexpectedly interrupted that tradition moving the international religious organization to cancel in-person conventions throughout the world and launch a global virtual event.
