Montgomery, AL – A winter storm has left roads across Alabama covered in ice, making travel hazardous or impossible in several areas. Authorities are urging drivers to avoid travel as crews work to clear and treat roadways.

According to updates from the Alabama Law Enforcement Agency (ALEA), portions of U.S. 31 in Montgomery County and Interstate 65 in Lowndes County are experiencing icy conditions. In Macon County, U.S. 29 northbound near Alabama 186 is blocked due to a jackknifed tractor-trailer, while U.S. 80 eastbound near Brown Road in Tuskegee remains icy.

In southern Alabama, all roads in Barbour, Coffee, Dale, Geneva, and Henry counties are impassable due to heavy ice and snow. Roadways in Houston County, including U.S. 84 eastbound at Boy Scout Road, are also blocked by jackknifed commercial vehicles. Ice has rendered key routes, such as Alabama 10 and Alabama 134, undrivable.

Further west, Baldwin and Mobile counties report extensive closures. Interstate 65 is closed between mile markers 19 and 37, with traffic diverted at exit 34 and exit 37. In Escambia County, Alabama 21 and portions of U.S. 31 are iced over, while Washington and Conecuh counties have declared all county-maintained roads impassable.

Motorists are advised to monitor conditions and avoid unnecessary travel.
