Highways to remain closed after storms - al.com

Highways to remain closed after storms - al.com: "Baldwin County continued to dry out Monday after almost a week of severe weather that destroyed homes and shut down two major highways for more than a week.

On the Eastern Shore, U.S. 90 and Ala. 181 will be closed for more than a week, Lee Reach, maintenance engineer for the Alabama Department of Transportation, said He said the rains washed out culverts on both highways. In Daphne, U.S. 90 remained closed between Baldwin County 13 and Ala. 181. Traffic was also being routed around a closed section of Ala. 181 between Baldwin County 64 and Austin Road.

'It'll be at least the middle of next week at the earliest before they're back,' he said Monday."
