The good news: It’s right after the big morning commune. The bad news: If you had plans for lunch around the area, you may want to start making some other plans.

ALDOT sent out a notice today encouraging motorists to use alternate routes, adjust arrival/departure times, observe work zone speed limits and other work zone signs and use extreme caution in this area.
