Ramp closures Monday
Alabama Department of Transportation closes two Interstate 759 ramps in the Gadsden/Attalla area on Monday to complete maintenance paving.
Beginning at 8:30 a.m., the I-759 westbound ramp to Interstate 59 southbound at the west end of I-759, according to the ALDOT website. This is estimated to last three to four hours, the website said.
ALDOT suggests using I-59 northbound and taking Exit 183 and return to I-59 southbound, the website said.
Once that ramp is completed, maintenance operations will continue on the ramp to I-759 westbound to I-59 northbound. This is expected to begin around noon and be closed another three to four hours, lasting until around 4 p.m., according to ALDOT.
The website suggests using I-59 southbound to Exit 181 (State Road 77) to return to I-59 northbound.
These repair times are subject to change depending on the weather conditions, the website said. The completion times are estimates and road closures will continue at each site until the work is completed.
