Got travel plans on US-280 Wednesday morning? You may want to consider using an alternate route between Cahaba Village/Whole Foods and Cahaba River Road.

On Wednesday, February 25, ALDOT will inspect the Pump House Road Bridge on US-280 (MP 3.231).

This operation will require crews to close US-280’s outside lanes during the bridge inspection between 9:00AM and 11:30AM, according to the Alabama Department of Transportation (ALDOT).
