According to a release from the Alabama Department of Transportation, state troopers will conduct rolling roadblocks between Exits 144 and 153 Monday through Thursday, from 7-7:10 p.m. in the eastbound lanes and 7-7:20 p.m. in the westbound lanes, for blasting. On-ramps to I-20 will be closed at Exit 147 eastbound and at Exit 152 westbound during the rolling roadblocks.
The work is part of the ALDOT’s “Progress 20” project to widen the last four-lane segment of I-20 in St. Clair County, from Moody to Pell City. 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.
