Contractors working for the Alabama Department of Transportation continue into the second week of demolition operations on the Interstate 59/20 bridges through downtown Birmingham on Monday, Jan. 28, 2019. The bridges are being torn down and rebuilt as part of a $475 million project that will require the highway to be closed for an estimated 14 months. That closure began Jan. 21.
