A severe thunderstorm watch has been issued for parts of Alabama, Mississippi and Tennessee until 7 PM CDT

ALDOT will close I-65 northbound at Exit 318 at Lacon in Morgan County for one night next week to repair the deck of the northbound bridge over the CSX railroad.

Weather permitting, ALDOT plans to close the northbound roadway about 6 p.m. Tuesday, June 2, and detour all northbound traffic to US-31.

The closure will continue into Wednesday, June 3. The time required for the repair and the duration of the closure will depend on the amount of time permitted for work above the railroad. Crews can work only when there is no train traffic.

🚧Northbound detour
▪️ALDOT will temporarily reopen US-31 northbound for the duration of the I-65 closure. About one mile of US-31 just north of I-65 is currently closed for concrete slab replacement.

▪️US-31 southbound between on US-31 and Lacon Road/Old Highway 31 and I-65 will remain closed.

▪️A temporary signal at the junction of US-31 and the northbound off-ramp will regulate traffic.

▪️From US-31, passenger traffic can take Thompson Road in Hartselle to I-65.

▪️Commercial traffic must continue north to SR-67 in Decatur and return to I-65 in Priceville.

🚧Wide loads must detour at Exit 310 in Cullman and take SR-157 northbound to SR-24 eastbound in Moulton and then SR-67 northbound to SR-20 eastbound in Decatur.

▪️Message boards and signs will direct motorists. State troopers will assist with traffic control.

Planned replacement
Design is ongoing for replacement of the I-65 bridges over the CSX railroad, as well as the bridges over Flint Creek immediately south of the railroad. ALDOT currently anticipates letting the project in late FY2027.

Reminder: we dont call about warrants, jury duty, bail, or ask to for money for fines, fees etc
