I-65 Night Work & CR-87 Bridge Closure | Huntsville News

Nightly lane closures begin Sunday on I-65 between Alabaster and the Shelby/Jefferson County line for asphalt patching—expect delays from 9 PM to 5 AM, Sunday through Thursday. While only a tenth of nightly traffic uses this stretch, drivers should plan alternate routes or adjust schedules. This work is separate from the ongoing widening project and unrelated to the CR-87 bridge incident last week, where falling debris injured one person and damaged the bridge’s underside. Southbound lanes of I-65 reopened, but the southbound CR-87 bridge remains closed as engineers assess repairs; ALDOT aims to share a reopening timeline soon. If heading north toward the airport, take Exit 231 in Calera, then US-31 north, CR-22 west, and Smokey Road. Listen in comfort:Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
