An Alabama Department of Transportation (ALDOT) bridge replacement project will begin on Monday, July 13.
The bridges over Choctafaula Creek, south of Exit 50 on I-85 north and south in Lee County, will be replaced.
Crews will limit lane closures to Sundays through Thursdays from 7 p.m. to 5 a.m. Lane closures will not be permitted during Auburn home football games.
ALDOT urges drivers to obey the posted speed limit and plan accordingly for delays. Motorists should also be mindful of people and equipment in the work zone.
ALDOT awarded the approximately $18.5 million project to Newell & Bush, Inc., out of Montgomery, Ala. The project is expected to be completed Summer 2028.
