ALDOT is painting the "useless overpass" on Memorial Parkway between Drake Avenue and Airport Road.
Why it matters: Drivers can expect around-the-clock closures of the U-turn lanes under that overpass until noon Nov. 26.
Service road thru-lanes will remain open.
Catch up quick: Built in the late 1960s, "the overpass got its nickname because it does not span a roadway intersection," ALDOT says. "However, many motorists do find the U-turn lanes beneath it useful."
The paint work is part of a $420,000 contract with Cekra, Inc. that includes painting the Eastside Drive overpass on I-759 in Gadsden, where work starts Nov. 17.
