I would stay clear of I59 in that area for the same reason especially between Gadsden and Fort Payne ALA... A big bump every 8-feet...
I don't know if any of that has been recently fixed or not...

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.
