Blasting continues on Interstate 20 as part of the Alabama Department of Transportation’s project to widen the last four-lane segment of the roadway in St. Clair County. Weather permitting, blasting will begin around 7 p.m. tonight on the eastbound outside lane between mile markers 152 and 153. A rolling roadblock by Alabama state troopers will slow I-20 traffic in both directions until blasting is complete.

Motorists should expect slower traffic and minor delays.

A reduced speed limit of 45 mph is in effect throughout the work zone. Motorists may want to consider using alternative routes and adjusting arrival/departure times. Motorists should 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.
