  • History of ALDOT
    Module 1 Read Ahead History of ALDOT Module 1: History of ALDOT Objectives After attending the training in Module 1, participants will be able to: • understand the history of ALDOT from birth out of corrections in 1911 until today. • identify the many changes that have occurred throughout the history of ALDOT. • understand the many reorganizations of areas, regions, divisions, and bureaus. Early History of ALDOT In 1911, the State Highway Commission was created under Governor Emmet O’Neal’s Administration (1911-1915). The State Highway Commission consisted of five commissioners and three regular employees. The State Highway Commission was organized along with an Oyster Commission and was initially housed in the cloak room of the Senate Chamber in the Alabma State Capitol. The first five Alabama State Highway Commission Members were Robert E. Spragins, Chairman, of Huntsville; John Craft of Mobile who later became Chairman of the 2nd Commission; V. B. Atkins of Selma; G.N. Mitcham, Professor of Civil Engineering at Auburn University; and Eugene A. Smith, State Geologist at the University of Alabama. Regular Members of the Commission were W.S. Keller, State Highway Engineer who had experience at the County Engineer level; Robert P. Boyd, Assistant State Highway Engineer who had experience at the County Engineer level; and C.L. Rabb, Clerk. Earliest Years Early highway executives in 1911 shared some of the same financial woes as their current counterparts. The Financial Act of 1911 appropriated $154,000 from the State Convict Fund. The Act allowed the funds to be used for construction of roads and for the overhead expenses of the state executives.

  • Early Texas Roads and Trails: Ca
    The Development of Highways in Texas: A Historic Context of the Bankhead Highway and Other Historic Named Highways II.3. OLD SPANISH TRAIL/SOUTHERN NATIONAL HIGHWAY/SH 3/SH 27 – US 90 – IH 10 INTRODUCTION Evoking the early Spanish conquistadors, explorers, and missionaries who came to Texas and other southern states centuries ago, the historic named highway known as the Old Spanish Trail includes segments of some of the oldest roads and trails in Texas. Impetus for the creation of a highway known as the Old Spanish Trail stems from the efforts of a group of individuals, primarily from Florida and Alabama, who met in Mobile, Alabama, in 1915 to create the Old Spanish Trail Association. It was one of many such auto trails groups established around the country as part of the Good Roads movement that promoted improvements to and expansion of the nation’s highways. Like many of its contemporaries, the Old Spanish Trail Association had a grand vision and advocated the development of a transcontinental highway that stretched from coast to coast. While the Bankhead Highway stretched the full width of Texas, it was not truly transcontinental – it ended in San Diego but began in Washington, D.C. rather than at the east coast. Moreover, the Old Spanish Trail took a more southerly route and was touted as the shortest transcontinental highway in the United States, especially as compared to the Lincoln Highway, which extended from coast to coast across the nation’s mid-section. Although the Old Spanish Trail Association initially maintained its headquarters in Mobile, Alabama, the group relocated its offices to San Antonio, Texas by 1919, under the able leadership of Harral Ayres.
