Information About

Interstate 165




Interstate 165 (abbreviated '''I-165''') is a spur from Interstate 65 that provides access to Mobile, Alabama . It runs for 4.9 miles (7.9 km) from Beauregard Street in downtown Mobile north to Interstate 65 in Prichard .


HISTORY

Interstate 165 began life as a planned Interstate 210. Many problems, including community opposition and access to the Mobile waterfront, prevented the freeway from reaching its intended southern terminus at Interstate 10 . Since the road had no connection to Interstate 10, the number 210 was no longer applicable to the freeway, so 165 was chosen instead.
