As Town Madison celebrates I-565 ramp opening, interchange looks toward conclusion AL.com 4/30/2021 Paul Gattis, al.com © Paul Gattis The eastbound ramp on I-565 to Town Madison in Madison opened April 29, 2021. The ramp is key for traffic flow to Toyota Field in the background. To the end, the ramp that wouldn’t open remained stubborn. Postponed for months over a dispute between the Alabama highway department and Town Madison developers, the I-565 eastbound ramp finally opened Thursday but it did so reluctantly – forcing a planned ribbon cutting ceremony to the covered concourse of adjacent Toyota Field due to rain. The stalemate required the intervention of Gov. Kay Ivey, who urged the Alabama Department of Transportation to permit the opening even though developer Louis Breland had not met outlined obligations regarding the westbound section of the interchange.
