I work off hwy 87 closer to 31 than 65. It normally takes me 15 or so minutes to get home, but took me an hour and 15 minutes yesterday. It took me 40 minutes to go 1 mile.


Traffic around here was already bad, but yesterday was on a whole other level. Hopefully, with them opening back up 65 it will help some, but that bridge being closed affects a lot of people. Also, they were scheduled to widen the bridge soon, I wish they would just go ahead and do it while it is shut down, but knowing AL they will spend 3 months patching it up, then close it next summer in time for beach traffic.

Hopefully the injured parties recoup quickly.

I heard it was Chilton contractors who hit the bridge, not sure if that is true or not, but whoever it was should be paying a lot of money soon.
