The Alabama Department of Transportation (ALDOT) will have no temporary lane closures on interstate routes from Friday, July 3, 2026 at 6:00 a.m. until Sunday, July 5, 2026 at 11:59 p.m.

Alabama roadways will experience higher traffic volumes during the holiday, and the suspension is to help reduce traffic congestion and improve safety with more people traveling during the holiday.

ALDOT Holiday Travel Tips:

Avoid Distractions: Drivers should keep their eyes and minds on the road and avoid cell phone use while driving.

Observe Speed Limits: Speeding is the number one contributor to fatal crashes in Alabama. It reduces reaction time and increases the severity of crashes.

Buckle Up: Seat belts save lives and reduce the risk of serious injury in the event of a crash. Ensure that everyone in the vehicle is wearing a seat belt properly.

ALDOT encourages all drivers to plan ahead, allow extra travel time, and stay alert on the roads if traveling ย for the Fourth of July weekend and throughout the summer travel season.
