Crews from the Alabama Department of Transportation (ALDOT) had traffic at a crawl on the Benjamin Fitzpatrick Bridge on Monday as workers milled own the roadway at the westside entrance in an effort to smooth the bridge's connection point to the roadway.

Workers could mill down only the westside lane of the entrance to the bridge because according to ALDOT officials the crew ran into mechanical issues with the necessary machinery and will return to finish the project in the future.Â
