State troopers will conduct rolling roadblocks on Interstate 20 between mile markers 147 and 149 on Wednesday and Thursday (8-22 and 8-23) from 7:00pm to 7:20pm as part of Progress 20.

The roadblocks will be in the westbound lanes to allow blasting.

The outside westbound lane of I-20 will be closed from 7:00pm to 6:00am between mile markers 147 and 149 each evening to remove loose material from the blasting.

The speed limit is being reduced to 45mph through out the work zone. Motorists are asked to use extreme caution in the area, and to consider alternate routes during this time.

This work is part of the ALDOT's Progress 20 project to widen the last four-lane segment of I-20 in St. Clair County.
