Bridge Inspection Causes Delays on US-31: Plan Ahead

0:00It's April 6th. I'm Cory with the story, and this is Birmingham News today, local news powered by AI. If you're cruising north on US31 across the Kahaba River toward the Galaria, Trader Joe's, or I-65, heads up for some delays. Tuesday morning, April 7th. The Alabama Department of Transportation is closing that stretch for a bridge inspection from 9.30 a.m. to 12.30 p.m. It lines up right after the main rush hour commute, so most folks might dodge the worst of it. But if lunch spots around there were on your radar, you could get caught in the backup, messing with your midday flow. Al-Dodd drop the notice today, pushing drivers to pick alternate routes, tweak their schedules, stick to work zone speed limits, and stay extra sharp. Around signs. Plants smart to keep your day rolling smooth, and check those detours before you hit the road.
