Blasting on I-565 in Madison expected to cause traffic delays

To improve traffic flow to Town Madison, expect traffic delays on Interstate 565 in Madison next week.

The city said Friday that scheduled blasting along the interstate in the vicinity of Town Madison will take place Monday and continuing through Friday. The blasting is for the construction of westbound flyover ramp on I-565 into Town Madison.

Blasting times are expected at lunchtime and again about 4 p.m., the announcement said. The city said during the blasting, all lanes of I-565 will be closed until debris is cleared from the highway. The closures are expected to last about 15 minutes at each blast.

The closures will be at Zierdt Road for westbound traffic and at Wall Triana Highway for eastbound traffic.

The city approved a funding plan in November to pay for the $37 million project.
