HUNTSVILLE, Ala. – A project to resurface the entirety of I-65 in Morgan County will begin the evening of Monday, June 16, weather permitting.
The $16.1 million project will resurface from Hurricane Creek, north of Vinemont in Cullman County, to one mile south of the I-565 interchange (Exit 340) in Limestone County.
The contractor, Rogers Group, will resurface the total of 23.4 miles of interstate in two main phases. First, Rogers Group will resurface the segment south of SR-36 in Hartselle this year. Resurfacing north of SR-36 will follow in 2026.
Nightly lane closures
To reduce traffic impacts, most work requiring lane closures will take place between 6 p.m. and 6 a.m., Sunday nights through Thursday nights. ALDOT advises motorists to expect delays due to single-lane closures.
Initial milling and paving operations will begin north of Lacon (Exit 318) in southern Morgan County.

Bridge repair and raising
Later this month, the contractor will begin repairing and raising the bridge on Upper River Road over I-65 in Priceville. The bridge was damaged in late April when struck by a piece of equipment improperly loaded on a trailer. ALDOT plans to have the bridge repair performed as a supplement to the original contract.
The project also includes raising the bridge on Parker Road over I-65 in Hartselle.
ALDOT will soon announce further details about the plans and scheduling for the bridge repair and bridge raisings.
