MADISON – The Alabama Department of Transportation advises motorists to watch for workers the next series of bridge girders for the Town Madison Interchange on I-565 at various times over the next three weeks.
Contractors will install the final girders for the westbound off-ramp and begin setting girders on the west-bound on-ramp.
The eastbound roadway will be closed for the safety of the public while the girders — massive steel beams to support the future bridge decks of the Exit 10 ramps — are hoisted into place by crane.
Eastbound detour
Weather permitting, all eastbound traffic will be detoured from 10 p.m. to 4 a.m. nightly Sunday through Thursday each of the next three weeks. However, no closures will take place July 3 and 4. This series of closures is anticipated to end July 11.
The detour for eastbound traffic will be Wall Triana Highway from Exit 9 to Madison Boulevard to Exit 13.
Traffic signal timing on Madison Boulevard has been modified to accommodate the detour, and Madison Police Department will assist with traffic control.
The closure and detour dates may be subject to change but will remain limited to late night/early morning hours on weeknights, when traffic volume is lowest, to minimize travel impacts.
