The Alabama Department of Transportation plans to close the right lanes on eastbound and westbound U.S. 280 between Shades Creek Parkway and Interstate 459 overnight for five nights beginning this Sunday night, Sept. 7.

The right lanes will be closed each night from 7 p.m. until 6 a.m. through Friday morning, Sept. 12, ALDOT spokesman Jon Paepcke said. That stretch of U.S. 280 covers more than 3 miles.

The lane closures are necessary for road widening work to take place, ALDOT said.

Motorists are requested 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. ALDOT thanks motorists for their patience during this construction project to improve the roadway.
