I65 in Birmingham AL awful!!

We're from Michigan where we always have potholes in the spring, but we haven't noticed anything on I-65. Now we have noticed awful areas on I-57 and I-55 .

They have completed about 10mi of new road out of Gadsden and work is in process to patch the rest of I-59 to the Georgia line. They are cutting out small sections and putting in cement patches. It looks like they have also ground it down to smooth it out. Its a lot better but a good coat of blacktop would be great. This entire area is 55 mph although most of it is done.
I-459 in Birmingham is falling apart and on my last trip I used I-59 through town and it also had some bad areas.

Could be smooth to you, Doxiemom11. Being from Tennessee, I realize I'm spoiled. Here we don't let roads get that far gone. And maybe it's just my RV.....or me.

We've been thru Birmingham a couple of times in the last 2 years and don't remember anything being overly rough on I-65. Road seemed okay to us.

Southbound exit 218, AL-35 in Fort Payne. Northbound exit 183 US-278/US-431 in Gadsden. Left to US-11 at both exits

somebody here previously posted the exit/entrance that should be used on I-59. that is one of the worst stretches I have ever been on.
bumpy

We always just stay on I-65. I don't remember it being that bad when we drove it in late March. I guess it depends on what you are used to.
