I65 Birmingham

I go thru Birmingham often... it is the roughest interstate route I've ever been on, period.

I often take the scenic route to slow down and avoid interstate traffic. Would also work to avoid rough pavement.

I went thru Birmingham on I-65 South a week ago and I also think it's the absolute worst piece of interstate highway I've seen since I began full-timing 4 years ago.

thanks for the replies. ADAD437 we see the problem the same way. Guess I will
just have to hope the wheels don't fall off and go through. Maybe some day
Bham will have the money to pave.

I hate going through Birmingham as much as I do Atlanta. With that being said, I often have to go through Birmingham to get where I want to travel.

are you kidding, i have drove in better cow pastures than the pavement going threw b-ham.

Probably another year or more. No easy way around. I'd go straight through. Watch for lane shifts.

Any idea of when the interchange rebuild will be finished? Does not look like there is any way to bypass around it easily.

Lots of construction I65 in the heart of Birmingham. They are rebuilding the I65,I20 interchange. Expect delays especially during rush hour.
