BIRMINGHAM, Ala. (WBRC) - Crews working on the U.S. 280 widening project will pause for Labor Day weekend, but lane closures will resume Tuesday night, according to the Alabama Department of Transportation (ALDOT). The closures will run Tuesday through Thursday, from 7 p.m. to 6 a.m., impacting both eastbound and westbound right-hand lanes between Lakeshore Parkway and I-459. ALDOT engineers say the project aims to reduce congestion along one of the busiest stretches of U.S. 280.
