Railway improvements are about to close a section of a major Mobile commuter route for more than a week.

According to information released Wednesday by the city, a section of Spring Hill Avenue just east of Interstate 65 will be closed beginning the morning of Monday, Jan. 16. “This total railroad replacement project will require Springhill Ave. to be closed for upwards of 10 days beginning at 5:30 AM on the 16th,” said the city announcement.

The primary detour route will use I-65 and Moffett Road, another significant east-west commuter corridor, to divert traffic around the closed portion of I-65.
