Alabama[Bearbeiten | Quelltext bearbeiten]

Die I-65 beginnt in Mobile (Alabama) bei der Interstate 10, nahe dem Golf von Mexiko. Sie kreuzt nördlich mit der Interstate-165 und führt über den Alabama River, bevor Sie nordöstlich weiterführt. In Richtung Montgomery (Alabama) führt sie durch Evergreen (Alabama) und Greenville (Alabama). Bei Montgomery trifft sie auf das südliche Ende der Interstate 85 und überquert den Alabama River erneut.

Im Chilton County erreicht die Interstate 65 At Chilton County, I-65 enters the Birmingham-Hoover-Cullman Combined Statistical Area. Approximately halfway between Montgomery and Birmingham, it passes Clanton (Chilton County seat), where the water-tower, visible from the road, is shaped and painted to resemble a huge peach.

I-65 intersects I-459 near Pelham, then passes through the cities of Hoover, Vestavia Hills and Homewood, which often generate heavy traffic. As the interstate passes by downtown Birmingham, south-bound travelers have a view of the Vulcan statue atop Red Mountain. At the north edge of downtown, I-65 intersects I-20/I-59 with a cross-over interchange, often called Malfunction Junction.

North of Birmingham, I-65 performs a unique scrape-intersection with US 31. The incomplete I-22 from Memphis, Tennessee is expected to intersect there with the most expensive interchange in Alabama history, consisting of approx. 14 bridges. The interstate then continues 98 miles to Huntsville, passing the city of Cullman on the way. The interstate later passes Decatur before crossing the Tennessee River on a 2.6 mile bridge. The interstate emerges again into the fringes of Decatur, in an open area of seemingly "endless" cotton fields where it intersects, inside Decatur, with Alabama 20, Alternate 72, and the spur-route, I-565 to Huntsville. The interstate then continues towards the state line, passing Athens and intersecting with U.S. Route 72. At the state line, the southbound lanes receive a welcome center, complete with a replica Saturn 1 rocket.

Tennessee[Bearbeiten | Quelltext bearbeiten]

Die Interstate 65 erreicht Tennessee südlich von Ardmore (Tennessee)), führt durch Nashville und verläßt den Bundesstaat nordwestlich von Portland (Tennessee).

Kentucky[Bearbeiten | Quelltext bearbeiten]

Interstate 65 enters the state five miles south of Franklin. It passes by the major cities of Bowling Green, Elizabethtown, and Louisville before exiting the state.

Throughout its length, it passes near Mammoth Cave National Park, Crystal Onyx Cave, Diamond Caverns, Bernheim Forest, the National Corvette Museum, and the Fort Knox Military Reservation.

Vorlage:ImageStackRight It junctions with the four parkways. The first major junction is with the William H. Natcher Parkway at Bowling Green, followed by the Cumberland Parkway north of the city between Smiths Grove and Park City. At Elizabethtown, it has two more parkway interchanges with the Wendell H. Ford Western Kentucky Parkway and the Martha Layne Collins Bluegrass Parkway. Interstate 65 also has interchanges with Interstate 265, Interstate 264, Interstate 64, and Interstate 71.

The widest stretch of Interstate 65 in its entirety is in Louisville at the Kentucky Route 1065 (Outer Loop), where the mainline is 14 lanes wide. It crosses the Ohio River into Indiana on the John F. Kennedy Memorial Bridge.

Indiana[Bearbeiten | Quelltext bearbeiten]

Interstate 65 enters the Hooiser state at Jeffersonvile and Clarksville.

The section of Interstate 65 in downtown Indianapolis multiplexes with Interstate 70. The junctions are often referred to as the "North Split" and the "South Split", forming a section of interstate locally known as the "Inner Loop."

In 1999, the 25 mile (40 km) segment of Interstate 65 between the two Interstate 465 interchanges was renamed the Kenneth "Babyface" Edmonds Highway.

The northern terminus of Interstate 65 is only 1/8 mile (0.2 km) north of Interstate 90 (Indiana Toll Road). Prior to 2004, the interchange from Interstate 90 to Interstate 65 required making a physical left turn onto Interstate 65 via a traffic signal; traffic from Interstate 65 to Interstate 90 bypassed the traffic signal via an isolated right-turn lane. It has since been grade-separated.

In the summer of 2003, the portion of Interstate 65 that runs concurrently with Interstate 70 was closed to all traffic due to the "HyperFix" project. During that time, a new asphalt surface was installed and the overpasses were upgraded.


Major intersections[Bearbeiten | Quelltext bearbeiten]

The future Interstate 22 will scale I-65 before terminating at US 31. The target date for the completion of the new route is 2012. However, ALDOT officials have pushed as of lately for a 2010 completion date.

Notes[Bearbeiten | Quelltext bearbeiten]

  • Interstate 65 combines with Interstate 24 and Interstate 40 near downtown Nashville, Tennessee to form a loop around the center city. Once, the northwestern leg of this loop was designated I-265; this is no longer true, as Nashville's government successfully petitioned to have the designation changed to I-65 in order to help alleviate traffic caused by motorists following I-65 through the city.
  • Known as "Auto Alley" due to the large number of automotive OEM and supplier firms that have facilities within an hour's drive of the highway. Interstate 65 leads to automotive assembly plants located in the Midwest and South. The most famous plant is the GM plant in Bowling Green, Kentucky, which makes the Chevrolet Corvette sports car, as well as the Cadillac XLR luxury roadster. Another GM plant, which builds Saturn vehicles, is also within a short driving distance from I-65 in Spring Hill, Tennessee. Both of the Ford Motor Company truck plants in Louisville, Kentucky are accessible—The Explorer SUV plant directly accessible from I-65 and the Kentucky Truck Plant, makers of the F-350 and Excursion SUV, from I-265. In Lafayette, Indiana, the Subaru of Indiana Automotive, Inc. plant is located at the junction of I-65 and SR-25. Supplier ArvinMeritor has several facilities near the highway in Columbus, Indiana. Finally, Hyundai's new automotive plant in Montgomery, Alabama is located just off I-65.
  • As the combined interstates of I-20/59 converge on Interstate 65 in Birmingham, Alabama, many wrecks, and accidents that have occurred that include the melting of support beams of overpasses after 18-wheelers crashed and burned on two separate occasions, and the numerous collisions that happen every year, has led this interchange to be nicknamed, "Malfunction Junction".
