I-65 Wreck, Detour Causes Traffic Problems In Atmore, Nokomis

May 17, 2011

A wreck on I-65 between the Perdido and Jack Springs Road exits had northbound interstate traffic detoured through Atmore Tuesday evening. For about two hours, traffic was detoured along Highway 31 to Industrial Drive and then to Jack Springs Road and back to I-65.

The detour was caused by a 18-wheeler wreck and fire at the 46-mile marker on the interstate, according to the Alabama Department of Transportation. Further details about the I-65 wreck were not  available from Alabama State Troopers.

There was also a three-vehicle accident on Highway 31 near Main Street during the detour period that caused additional problems in Atmore.

By 8:15 p.m., traffic in Atmore and Nokomis had returned to normal as I-65 northbound reopened.
