Report

Labor Day 2026 in Alabama

What the ALGO Traffic feed carried over the holiday weekend.

Driving across Alabama

I-65 is the spine, about 366 miles from Mobile through Montgomery and Birmingham to the Tennessee line. I-20 crosses east to west through Birmingham between the Georgia and Mississippi lines. I-10 runs the Gulf Coast through Mobile. I-59 angles northeast from Birmingham toward Chattanooga, and I-22 links Birmingham to Memphis.

What the season does to Alabama's highways

When a hurricane threatens Mobile Bay, evacuations move north on I-65, and ALDOT posts where traffic is heaviest and where lanes are adjusted by mile marker. The rest of the year the trouble is ordinary. Between Mobile and Montgomery I-65 is long, flat and rural, exits are far apart, and one crash can stack traffic for miles.

Before a Alabama road trip

  1. Check the map above for anything red on your route, then open ALGO Traffic for the DOT's own detour and restriction text.
  2. Look at the road. The Alabama cameras show the pavement itself, and most carry the mile marker.
  3. For the long haul, the I-10, I-20 and I-65 corridor pages carry alerts for every state the route crosses, not only Alabama.
  4. Know how to say where you are. Dispatch, 911 and tow companies ask for the route, the direction and the mile marker. How to report your location on the highway.
  5. Carry the app. The mile marker works offline in all 50 states, and the same ALGO Traffic alerts show on your route as you drive.

What September looked like

Over 25 daily snapshots from September 1 to 25, 2026, MileCheck's archive of the ALGO Traffic feed held 1,120 unique reports, including 31 closure reports, 209 crash reports and 263 work-zone reports. The routes with the most reports were I-65, I-20 and I-10. Counts reflect what the feed publishes, so a state whose DOT posts only closures shows only closures. Read the September Highway Report.

Questions, answered

Is the highway closed in Alabama right now?

The map above shows every full closure ALGO Traffic is publishing as a red marker, crashes in orange, and weather and hazard alerts in blue and purple. Closures the DOT has posted for a future date are listed as scheduled, and ramp and lane closures sit under the toggle so the list stays readable. It reloads every five minutes. If the feed cannot be reached the page says so instead of showing an empty map. For the official list, open ALGO Traffic.

Where do I check Alabama road conditions?

ALGO Traffic is the official source, and dialing 511 in most states reaches the same information by phone. This page reads the same ALGO Traffic feed and adds the Alabama cameras, the corridor and pass pages, and your own mile marker if you carry the app.

How often does this page update?

Every five minutes. MileCheck's server fetches the ALGO Traffic feed, converts it to one format shared by all 50 states, and caches it for five minutes. Each alert also carries the time the DOT last updated it, shown in the list.

Does the MileCheck app show these alerts?

Yes. The app shows the same ALGO Traffic alerts on your route, ahead of your position, with the mile marker you are passing. The mile marker works offline in all 50 states. Live alerts are part of MileCheck Premium, $49.99 a year or $9.99 a month after a 7-day free trial.

Know exactly where you are — live

Your mile marker shows even offline. ALGO Traffic alerts on your route and the nearest camera are part of MileCheck Premium and need a connection to update. Runs on CarPlay and Android Auto.
