Nightly detours planned for I-565 flyover construction at Toyota Field

Alabama Department of Transportation

MADISON — Work continues on the I-565 flyover at Toyota Field and traffic will be affected, the Alabama Department of Transportation announced.

The next series of bridge girders for the Town Madison Interchange on I-565 will be installed on several nights this week.

The westbound roadway will be closed for the safety of the public while the girders — massive steel beams to support the future bridge decks of the Exit 10 westbound on- and off-ramps — are hoisted into place by crane.

Weather permitting, all westbound traffic will be detoured between 10 p.m. and 4 a.m. nightly today through Thursday.

The detour for westbound traffic will be Madison Boulevard from Exit 13 to Wall Triana Highway to Exit 9.

Signal timings on Madison Boulevard have been modified to accommodate the detour, and Madison Police Department will be assisting with traffic control.

Cranes sit beside the I-565 Exit 10 westbound off-ramp, where some sets of girders have already been installed.
When completed, the off-ramp will connect to Town Madison Boulevard, providing direct access from westbound I-565 to the development that includes Toyota Field. (Alabama Department of Transportation contributed)

The closure and detour dates may be subject to change but will remain limited to late night/early morning hours on weeknights, when traffic volume is lowest, to minimize travel impacts.
