In preparation for the upcoming Labor Day weekend, the Alabama Department of Transportation (ALDOT) announced there will be no temporary lane closures on interstate routes statewide.

Effective from Friday, August 30 at 12:00 p.m. until Monday, September 2 at 11:59 a.m., ALDOT say the effort will facilitate smoother and safer travel for Alabama residents and visitors alike.

“Labor Day is a time when motorists take to the roads to enjoy the last days of summer,” says Allison Green, Drive Safe Alabama coordinator. “By suspending lane closures, we hope to make the journey safer and less stressful for everyone. Safety is a shared responsibility, and we urge all drivers to remain alert and follow traffic laws.”

Motorists planning their holiday travel route can find Alabama traffic and road condition information, including live traffic camera feeds at ALGOtraffic.com or by downloading the ALGO Traffic app.
