TRUSSVILLE, Ala.–An eastbound Highway 11 lane at the intersection of Highway 11 and Chalkville Road is currently closed due to ongoing construction.
The closure is currently stopping up traffic in downtown Trussville, resulting in a long line of cars.
Crews from Star Construction and Elite Underground have been working to install a new fiber optic cable along Highway 11 using a directional boring rig.
Those on the scene said they hope to have the lane reopened by around 4 p.m. but that they may have to close the lane again tomorrow to complete the installation.

Update: As of 3:45 p.m. Thursday the lane has reopened.
