MEDIA ADVISORY
PROGRESS 20 Announces Planned Lane Closures on I-20 EB and WB To Perform Paving Operations as Phase II of Pavement Reconstruction Projects Continues, in Jefferson County
JEFFERSON COUNTY – A project to improve Interstate 20 from I-59 in Birmingham to State
Route 4 (US 78) in Leeds continues as the Alabama Department of Transportation announces
lane closures on I-20 to perform paving operations in Jefferson County.
Beginning Monday, April 8 at midnight, weather permitting Phase II of the project will initially
close the eastbound lanes of I-20 from exit 130 to exit 136 and is expected to last approximately
90 days. To avoid lengthy travel delays, motorists are encouraged to use the signed local detours:
Exiting I-20 East from I-20/I-59 South, take I-59 North to Exit 137 to I-459 South. Take I-459
south to Exit 29 to I-20 East.
Once the eastbound lanes are completed, the westbound lanes will close and a detour route will
be used. A $30,000 per day incentive/disincentive is included in the contract with the bonus to
the contractor calculated upon completion.
Plans are to do asphalt patching repairs on both eastbound and westbound lanes of I-20, which
will involve having various lane closures from the I-20/ I-459 Interchange to the 1st Leeds Exit
(Bass Pro Shop). Following the patching of both the eastbound and westbound lanes, they will be
milled for slope correction and paved with asphalt binder, asphalt wearing surface and will then
be restriped.
About 74,000 vehicles travel each day past the Birmingham airport and continue on I-20 to the
U.S. 78 Exit that carries you to the Leeds Retail Outlet. The concrete and asphalt have worn out
due to the heavy volume of traffic and heavy loads by large trucks.
The Alabama Department of Transportation’s $38.6 million project will rebuild 9.8 miles of the
interstate in both directions.
The expected completion date for the entire project is early Winter 2013.
