Does anyone know how to get thru Birmingham Al. not on I65. I 65 is very, very, very, rough in Birmingham.

    X2

    We go through twice per year, once northbound and once southbound.

    Last time was northbound a few weeks ago. It is still rough, but the length is decreasing.

    2 X minus 4.... not for me.

    Went from Indianapolis to Panama City, Florida last Christmas, both ways there and back down I-65. It might have been a 10 minute ride, although it took me a LOT longer because I slowed down to about 35 mph for fear of flipping the trailer, it is the ride from He**.

    When we went back to Panama City in March this year, I didn't think about Montgomery until we were there. Never again! On our return home, we came up through Georgia! Up I-75 to Cincinnati then I-74 back toward Indianapolis. Although it was a much longer ride home, the cabinet doors in my camper did not flip open, the contents did not end up on the floor, the light fixtures did not pop off the ceiling, and I did not have a headache from my head hitting the ceiling of the truck! My wife's back did not get yanked out of joint, and the dog did not throw up!

    Montgomery, I-65??? no! Never again!
