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\u2019s 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.
