Huntsville, AL – Winter weather continues to affect travel in Huntsville Thursday evening as police confirm an active road closure along Interstate 565 westbound near Exit 19B. The Huntsville Police Department issued the update around 8 p.m., urging drivers to remain cautious as icy patches persist in several areas.
According to the Huntsville Police Department, crews are monitoring local roads as temperatures drop overnight, creating potentially hazardous conditions even where major routes appear clear. Authorities note that all other roadways not listed in the alert remain open for travel at this time.
The US National Weather Service in Huntsville added that while many routes have reopened since earlier in the week, “residual slick spots” continue to pose a risk—particularly for early morning commuters and overnight travelers.
Residents are advised to drive slowly, increase following distance, and avoid sudden braking. Officials remind drivers that freezing conditions may return overnight, especially on bridges and shaded areas.
The city continues to monitor conditions closely and will issue updates as needed through official police and weather service pages.
