Vegetation Clearing Starts on De Armanville Road Today

De Armanville, AL · June 29, 2026

The humidity is already hanging heavy over the valley this Monday morning, but the crews are out early. If you are heading toward the post office, keep an eye out for the orange vests as the week’s maintenance schedule kicks into gear.

📰 The Lead

The Oxford City Council is set to discuss the next phase of the Highway 78 safety initiative during tonight’s session. For those of us who navigate the corridor daily, the proposed addition of high-visibility LED lighting at key intersections near the community line is a significant development. This project aims to reduce late-night accidents and improve visibility during the heavy summer downpours that often catch drivers off guard.

Beyond the lights, the council will also review the final summer paving list. Several feeder roads that connect our neighborhood to the main commercial hubs are under consideration for resurfacing. While De Armanville remains unincorporated, these regional infrastructure decisions directly impact our daily commutes and property access. The public session provides a chance to see which projects will move from the planning board to the construction phase before the autumn harvest season begins.
