RETURN TRIP - DETOUR

The Alabama Department of Transportation closed I-65's northbound lanes between Hartselle and Priceville to repair a landslide that has encroached on the outside shoulder of the roadway during the past two weeks.

The slide is located near mile marker 330 in Morgan County. The repair project will require the interstate's two northbound lanes to be closed between exits 328 and 334. Southbound interstate traffic will not be affected.

Passenger vehicles traveling northbound may exit I-65 North at Exit 325 (Thompson Road) then proceed west on Thompson Road to U.S. 31, then north to Alabama 67 then south on Alabama 67 back onto I-65 at Exit 334 (Priceville) or must exit I-65 at Exit 328 onto State Route 36 then east to Alabama 67 then north on Alabama 67 to I-65 at Exit 334 (Priceville).
