According to the Alabama Department of Transportation, Alabama state troopers will conduct rolling roadblocks that will slow I-20 traffic for 20 minutes in the westbound lane and 10 minutes in the eastbound lane between mile markers 151 and 152 at 7 p.m., Monday for blasting.
The work is part of ALDOT’s “Progress 20” project to widen the last four-lane segment of I-20 in St. Clair County, between Eden and Brompton. The scheduled completion date on the project is Oct. 1, 2012.
A reduced speed limit of 45 mph is in effect throughout the work zone. Motorists are urged to consider using alternate routes, adjust arrival/departure times, observe work-zone speed limits and other work-zone signs, and use extreme caution in this area. State troopers will control traffic and strictly enforce speed limits.
