bypass Birmingham, AL

[aboeck3]

I am traveling south on I-65 through Birmingham. I hate I-65 in Birmingham! I noticed that just east of I-65 is a US31, have any of you traveled that road and if so how good is it?

thanks,

US31 through Birmingham is slow with a lot of stops. Really, I65 isn't bad. Oak mountain on the south side is a good overnight stop. Quiet and reasonable. The access to the campground is from the south end of the park.

US31 just parallels I-65 and goes thru downtown Birmingham, AL (Carraway Blvd) then turns into an Expressway for a while then back to US31.

Don't see the benefit of using it unless you want to go downtown vs running I-65

North/South---tough to bypass Birmingham

East/West...doable by using I-489


Good Luck!
