LEEDS, Ala.–The City of Leeds has finished installing new LED street lights at Exit 140 that will help improve visibility in the traffic-heavy area.
The project aims to make navigating the roads off I-20 safer especially with the volume of drivers visiting Buc-ee’s, Bass Pro Shop, and The Shops of Grand River, which are all located nearby.
Their installation also places Leeds among a select number of cities in Alabama with fully operational and modernized exit lighting systems.
“Thanks to our electrical team headed up by Mike Cauble and our Economic Development group that saw this through, we’re now happy to announce that we have new all-LED lighting at our Exit 140—our exit for Buc-ee’s and Bass Pro,” Mayor David Miller said.
“The lighting was really poor there, so we went in with all brand-new fixtures, all brand-new LED lighting. We’re one of the few in the state that’s got every light that works—and they’re all LEDs.”
