Decatur Planning Commission has recommended a plan to limit access along US ALT 72/AL 20 in the Limestone County portion of Decatur.

If approved by the city council, the plan would restrict access to the highway to 2 intersections. The plan also restrict development from building anything within 150 feet of the northside of the highway, and a certain distance that I cannot recall on the southern side of the highway. These variances are of course being created to allow for future widening of the roadway which the city intends to eventually convert to a controlled access freeway in the future.

The first intersection (future interchange) would not be aloud until 2,000 west of the termination of I-565. The next interchange would exist about a mile west of that initial interchange.
