I just looked at the ALDOT site and I don't see anywhere that it states that they will be closed for a year. Maybe I missed it. It really doesn't affect me as I always use 459 around Bham anyway.

Gotta go campin!
Local TV reporting a year possibly longer. I’m thinking the numbers of vehicles diverted from 20/59 will choke 459 as well. Like you I avoid B’Ham like the plague.

Thanks for the heads up. Just starting to plan our trip to AL so this is very helpfull
Your most welcome, I65 is moving "normally" I459 traffic is heavy but moving along. Dramatically increased police presence on I 459.
Travel safe, Blu Skies

Bham is always a problem, but this advertised and promulgated closure is 14 months. Today, even one of the suggested detours is closed but reputed to be open for rush hour Monday 1/28. 459 is even bad now. You may even want to reconsider whether to attend to normal RV Show in Feb, the normal time for it. I avoid the down town area as much as possible.
I suspect congested in B'ham is still better than normal rush hour afternoon in the traffic hell known as Atlanta. At one time it was like #4 of the top worst 100 congested commutes in the world.

So far traffic seems to be moving pretty well on 459 & 65. Definitely better than Atlanta! I’m always for the scenic route.
