Alabama’s Lieutenant Gov. Will Ainsworth is in Washington D.C, where he plans to discuss relocating U.S. Space Command to Redstone Arsenal in Huntsville and widening I-65 “from the Tennessee line to the Gulf of America.”

At an Alabama League of Municipalities Luncheon on Wednesday, U.S. Rep. Gary Palmer (R-Hoover) spoke about the importance of finishing Birmingham's Northern Beltline and advocated for widening Interstate 65, though he said he didn't know if that should be a top priority.

You may not expect to be stuck in traffic on a Saturday in rural Alabama. However, if you've been up and down Interstate 65, the state's main artery, at any given point and time, it is not unusual.
