On a day with lots of rain and slippery roads, comes an announcement from our friends at the Northport Police Department regarding Highway 69.

Highway 69 is a major artery in Tuscaloosa County, and it is currently closed in both directions. This is directly from our sources with ALEA below:

 

🚨‼️ ROAD CLOSURE ‼️🚨

 

 

Highway 69 is currently CLOSED between Charlie Shirley Road and Mitt Lary Road in both directions.

The closure is due to debris in the roadway. We are awaiting a response from state crews and will provide updates as soon as more information becomes available.

Please follow this post for the latest updates and avoid the area if possible. 🚧

We have been told we will be the first to be updated when it finally reopens. Keep checking our app or make sure you receive our alerts so you never miss important information for all of us in West Alabama.
