Motorists navigating Highway 72 should brace themselves for considerable delays as lane closures are set to commence this week between Indian Springs and Sky Park Road. The Alabama Department of Transportation has confirmed that these closures will persist throughout the month of July, impacting travel plans for many.
Travelers can anticipate specific delays based on their direction of travel. For those heading westbound, delays are expected from 9:00 AM to 4:00 PM, while eastbound drivers should prepare for interruptions between 8:00 AM and 3:00 PM. Given these timeframes, officials are strongly advising commuters to allocate additional time for their journeys, particularly during peak traffic hours.
In light of the anticipated wait times, drivers are encouraged to pack snacks and maintain a sense of patience, as prolonged delays may occur. The lane closures are part of essential roadwork designed to enhance traffic flow and improve the overall condition of this heavily trafficked route.
