I-65 Lane Closure Scheduled in Montgomery Saturday & Sunday | Transportation

MONTGOMERY – Work continues on construction of Additional Lanes (Grade, Drainage, Pavement, Concrete Pavement Rubblization, Bridge Widening, Lighting, Signing and Signals) on Interstate 65 from the north end of the Catoma Creek Bridge to the south end of the Mill Street Bridge, and the Median Widening, Concrete Pavement Rehabilitation, and Shoulder Rehabilitation on I-65 from north of Fairview Avenue to the Alabama River Bridge in Montgomery.

Weather permitting, Saturday and Sunday, October 29 thru October 30th, one lane of I-65 Northbound and one lane of I-65 Southbound from Fairview Avenue to the Alabama River Bridge will be closed between the hours of 6 a.m. and 9 p.m.  One lane will remain open on the ramps at all times.  These closures are necessary to overlay the existing concrete pavement.     

Work will continue at night during the upcoming weeks rehabilitating the concrete pavement between Fairview Avenue and the Alabama River Bridge. Drivers should expect additional lane and ramp closures during this period.

The Montgomery Police Department will assist with traffic control. Moderate delays should be expected.

The Progress 65 Web site, www.progress65.com and toll-free project update information line, 866-888-0822, along with posters, brochures and signage, is part of the Alabama Department of Transportation’s Progress on Alabama Roadways campaign to keep travelers informed of the progress being made to improve the state’s interstates. Additional ongoing projects include Progress 20 in St. Clair County and Progress 59 in Etowah County.

Construction on this segment of the Progress 65 project is scheduled to be complete in the next six weeks. ALDOT thanks motorists for their patience during this construction to improve Alabama’s roadways.
