TRANSPORTATION / HIGHWAY TRAVEL

Major Thoroughfares
Birmingham has one of the most extensive networks of highways and roadways in the Southeast. Birmingham is served by Interstates 20, 65, 59, the southern beltway Interstate 459, and the Elton B. Stephens (Red Mountain) Expressway (U.S. Highways 31 and 280). The new Interstate 22 linking Birmingham to Memphis will make Birmingham the hub of four interstate highways and will rank the city among the Southeast’s top three interstate transportation hubs after Atlanta and Nashville. Major thoroughfares that serve the metropolitan Mobile region and the Gulf Coast including Baldwin County are Interstates 10 and 65 and Interstate 165. A number of federal highways and state routes complement this high-speed freeway system.
