Birmingham Traffic

     As you know if you have driven through Downtown Birmingham recently, the Transportation Department is redoing Malfunction Junction, the interchange of I-59 and I-65 that has bedeviled drivers for decades. 
    To accomplish the work, the city and state are closing a stretch of I-59 across from the Civic Center each night with this predictable result:

     A string of brake-lights snakes through Birmingham on I-65 Northbound Thursday Evening.


     The work to replace bridges and ramps on the I-59/I65 Interchange has caused a different kind of traffic nightmare for drivers in Birmingham.

(Thanks to my friend Jerry Eason for letting me use his perch above the city for these photos!)
