Expect higher-than-normal traffic issues on Memorial Parkway again this week.

Traffic will be limited to one lane, instead of two lanes, in parts of the construction zone near the Martin Road overpass on Memorial Parkway throughout the week, according to the Alabama Department of Transportation.

The one-lane traffic began last week as workers began removal of a temporary work tunnel under the overpass. That work will continue again this week and is expected to affect traffic flow through Friday, according to ALDOT.

When traffic was reduced to one lane during non-rush hour periods last week, motorists were backed up as if in the midst of the morning commute going northbound or the evening commute going southbound.

ALDOT said that the lane closures will not take place during the high traffic rush-hour time frames. Northbound traffic will be limited to one lane after 9 a.m. each day while both lanes will be open after 3 p.m. going southbound.
