I-59 North Travel Bulletin

If you are going up I-59, there is a section just north of Gadsden
AL (Attalla to Collinsville) where the road is 1 bumpy narrow lane for 22 uninterrupted miles. I took the detour (for loads over 12' wide) yesterday and it is MUCH better - scenic, smooth, and faster than that part of I-59.

Two weeks ago we drove to Knoxville in the Clubman and that stretch was really bad plus it was raining. I think the southbound side was rougher than the northbound. Looks like it's going to be that way for a long time.

Is the detour 411 to 68 or is it 1 to 168 to 68 or straight shot up 11??? Just looking at the map and wondering which way it takes you....
Never have liked that section. That section of road caused the tire alert light to come on. Stopped and checked and all was fine.
