 Alright,
we're way up in Clanton, now, on US 31. |
 I
took this because we're in the middle of Alabama (between Montgomery and
Birmingham) and there is a hurricane evacuation sign. |
 AL
145 North out of Clanton. |
 An
old I-65 shield in Clanton. |
 SB
US 31 and EB AL 22 connect for a few miles. |
 And
this is what those two roads look like while they are together. |
 I-65
North getting into the Birmingham area. I-459 is ahead. |
 The
exit for I-459 on I-65 NB. |
 This
I-459 shield is bubbly and has the state name in it. |
 I-459
is still kinda urban out here. |
 Apparently
"To I-20" and "To I-59" are more important than I-459. |
 Now
we're down to 4 lanes. |
 Oh
boy Mommy! Can we go? Can we?? |
 Um....
End. |
 Here
is the end of I-459 at I-20/59. |
 Interstate,
US Route, and state shields all on one road. |
 Six
lanes on I-20/59. |
 Now
we're on US 11 South. |
 See? |
 Now
at AL 69 on I-20/59. |
 Scene
of I-20/59. |
 Entering
Mississippi. For a second. |
 Welcome
sign. |
 An
interesting approach to a BGS in Mississippi. |
 Headed
back east, just west of the AL-MS line. |
 Last
Mississippi picture. Don't worry folks. We're still on the
Alabama Adventure! |
 How
I have missed Alabama in the past 5 minutes. |
 Could
this be..... Demopolis?! |
 At
US 43. |
 A
funky 3-lane part of US 80 EB. |
 AL
22 sure gets around! |
 Why
are US 80 and Truck US 80 signed together? Shouldn't US 80 trump the
Truck Route? |
 US
80 headed back to Montgomery. |
 And
we're almost there! |
 US
80 doesn't go downtown, but downtown is accessible via US 80. |
 See,
US 80 goes to I-65, which has exits for downtown Montgomery. |
 On
the south side of Montgomery. |
 I-65
in the downtown area is pretty inadequate for the traffic volume. |
 Wanna
see the capitol? Mmkay, follow this route. |
 Here
is the southern terminus of I-85 as viewed from I-65 NB. |
 A
super-zoomed in view of Montgomery's skyline from the hotel in Prattville,
about 6 miles north of the city. |
 Hitting
up the Montgomery Highway here on I-65 NB. |
 Just
a look at the roads of Birmingham. |
 Oh
look, we're at Birmingham already! |
