Fresh Produce Returns to the Market This Afternoon

De Armanville, AL · May 27, 2026

The morning mist is hanging low over the creek, but it shouldn't dampen the plans for the mid-week market run.

📰 The Lead

Following the holiday weekend, crews are shifting focus to drainage improvements along the eastern edge of the community. Work on the culverts near the intersection of Highway 78 and De Armanville Road is scheduled to intensify today. This project aims to mitigate the standing water issues that have plagued that stretch during heavy summer thunderstorms. While flaggers will be on-site to manage the flow, residents should expect minor delays during the morning commute. The county expects this phase of the project to wrap up by Friday afternoon, weather permitting. It’s a small inconvenience now to avoid the hydroplaning risks we usually see once the June rains arrive in earnest.

  • The Choccolocco Iron Company Ruins Tucked away near the creek, these stone remnants are all that's left of a 19th-century industrial hub. At its peak, the furnace produced tons of pig iron daily, fueling the region's growth before the fires finally went cold in the 1890s.
