Nashville to Birmingham, I-65 Condition

Anyone traveled I-65 from Nashville, Tennessee to Birmingham, Alabama lately? What is the condition of the road?

Also, how about Birmingham, Alabama to Tuscaloosa, Alabama via I-20/59? What is its condition? Thanks in advance.

  • We went thru Birmingham on I-65 and didn't find it to be a problem at all. Maybe we drive slower so don't have a problem? Don't know....
  • If you are going toward Tuscaloosa, you might want to stop for a nite or two at Tannehill State Historical Park. It is at exit 100 on I20. If you have never been there, and have any interest in Civil War history, this is the place to visit. Happy camping.........
  • I-65 from Nashville to Birmingham is "mostly" a very good smooth road.
    EXCEPTa little North of Birmingham, through Birmingham, and South of the city, approximately a 15 mile stretch. The surface is a concrete divided surface and it is rough. Pulling a fifth wheel or trailer you better hold on with both hands. Once you get a few miles South of the city on I-65 it is smooth sailing all the way toward Montgomery.
  • Ok except if you decide to go downtown in Birmingham. Its all bad there. i65 over to i20 is good to Tuscaloosa.
  • 20/59 to Tuscaloosa is a good road. Resurfaced about 2 yrs ago.
