Bridge work at I-565/I-65 begins today

HUNTSVILLE — The Alabama Department of Transportation advises motorists to expect single-lane closures on the flyover bridges from I-565 westbound to I-65 southbound this weekend for work on the bridge deck overlay.

According to ALDOT, the work should be complete by 4 a.m. Oct. 1 if weather permits.

Only one lane and one shoulder of each two-lane bridge will be closed at a time. Motorists are asked to reduce speed and drive with caution through the work zone.

The work is part of a $15.4 million project with contractor Wiregrass Construction to resurface 12.4 miles of I-65 between milepost 339 (north of the Tennessee River Bridge) and Exit 351 (U.S. 72).
