ALDOT Closing Lanes Monday & Tuesday for Bridge Work in Coker
Crews working for the state will perform rolling lane closures on US Highway 82 in Coker early next week as part of the ongoing project to replace a pair of bridges there.
As the Thread reported in May, ALDOT is working on a $10 million project to replace the bridges over Big Creek near Sam Sutton Road in Coker.
A major part of that work, the girder placement for the westbound bridge over Big Creek, will take place on Monday and Tuesday.
"Crews plan to place a total of 14 girders, with seven scheduled each day," said John McWilliams, an ALDOT communications coordinator. "Westbound traffic on US-82 will be stopped for a maximum of 15 minutes at a time during each girder placement."
The lane closures will also only be implemented before 8:30 a.m. or after 2:30 p.m. to minimize daytime delays.
ALDOT has a free mobile app and encourages drivers to download it or check out their website for real-time updates and conditions.
