US-280 all-lane closure at Pump House Road to take place for 3 days

The Alabama Department of Transportation (ALDOT) announced another total closure of US-280 as Mountain Brook’s Pump House Road bridge is demolished.

Here is what commuters need to know:

• Friday, March 20 at 11PM, crews will close all US-280 lanes, both westbound and eastbound
• Eastbound lanes (toward The Summit) will remain closed until Monday, March 22
• Westbound lanes (toward downtown Birmingham) will reopen each morning at 5AM before closing again at 11PM
• Monday, March 22, all lanes will reopen no later than 6AM

ALDOT recommends the following detours, as pictured in the image above: 

• Eastbound: Lakeshore Parkway to I-65, to I-459, to US-280
• Westbound: The same route in reverse order

“ALDOT wants to thank the public for their patience during this widening effort which will greatly increase US-280 capacity when complete this fall.”
