Interstate 65
Mobile, AL to Gary, IN
I-65 spans 887 miles from the Port of Mobile north through Montgomery, Birmingham, Nashville, Louisville, and Indianapolis to the Chicago metro at Gary, Indiana. It is the main corridor linking Gulf Coast exports to the Midwest and serves major auto manufacturing plants throughout its length. The Nashville interchange -- where I-65 intersects I-40 and I-24 -- is notoriously congested and accident-prone. The route passes through relatively moderate terrain, though Louisville and Indianapolis see significant winter weather.
