The Alabama Department of Transportation (ALDOT) has announced a planned lane closure on I-85 South beginning at 7 p.m. Sunday, Nov. 3, as part of a bridge widening project.

What to Expect:

  • Location: A one-lane closure for approximately one mile on I-85 South at Line Creek. This lane closure is approximately 3 miles south of Exit 22 (Shorter) in Macon County.
  • Duration: The lane closure will be in effect around the clock for bridge rehabilitation. The contractor aims to finish by Thanksgiving, with an incentive from ALDOT for early completion.
  • Impact: Delays are expected. If possible, consider using alternate routes during this time.  
  • Safety: Drivers should slow down to the reduced speed limits and be extra cautious of workers and equipment in work zones.

ALDOT apologizes in advance for the inconvenience that this may cause.
