Interstate 65 runs from I-10 in Mobile, Alabama, to US 12 and US 20 in Gary, Indiana, just past its interchange with the Indiana Toll Road (I-90). The FHWA route log (routes as designated on December 31, 2025) gives it 884.97 miles: 366.09 in Alabama, 120.13 in Tennessee, 137.32 in Kentucky and 261.43 in Indiana. That total includes 5.73 miles shared with other Interstates: 1.00 with I-40 and 2.60 with I-24 in Nashville, and 2.13 with I-70 in Indianapolis. I-65 does not run with I-90 or I-94. The major cities on the route are Mobile, Montgomery, Birmingham, Nashville, Bowling Green, Louisville, Indianapolis, Lafayette and Gary, and the only tolls are on the Ohio River bridges at Louisville.
At Louisville a truck has tolls and a long work zone to plan for. RiverLink tolls both I-65 bridges over the Ohio: the Abraham Lincoln Bridge carries northbound traffic and the John F. Kennedy Memorial Bridge southbound. From July 1, 2026, rates run from $2.79 for a passenger car to $16.62 for a truck with five or more axles. The rate depends on the vehicle's size and on whether the driver has a prepaid account and a transponder. You do not need an account to cross: RiverLink photographs the plate, and the toll is paid by phone, online or from an invoice mailed to the owner. South of downtown, KYTC is replacing or rehabilitating nine bridges on the I-65 Central Corridor, the five miles between the Watterson Expressway (I-264, exit 131) and Jefferson Street. It closed that stretch on June 1, 2026 and reopened it on July 29 with two lanes each way, a lower speed limit on part of it and some ramps still closed. Work has started on the last six bridges, around the downtown stretch known as Hospital Curve, and KYTC's project site expects them to be done in late 2028. KYTC sends through traffic on a signed detour by I-264 west (Georgia Davis Powers Expressway) and I-64. Kentucky law keeps truck tractors, trailers and semitrailers out of the leftmost lane wherever a road has three or more marked lanes in one direction (KRS 189.340(7)(c)).
Alabama has 366 of the miles. Between Mobile and Baldwin counties, the General W.K. Wilson Jr. Bridge carries four lanes of I-65 for more than six miles across the Mobile-Tensaw Delta. ALDOT inspects it every year, and the 2026 inspection, which began on March 30 and was planned to last eight months, came with warnings of possible lane closures and reduced speeds. Before a hurricane, ALDOT can reverse southbound I-65 so that both sides run north from Mobile to Montgomery. The governor orders it, ALDOT staffs every exit from exit 31 to exit 167, and it has not been needed since Hurricane Dennis in 2005. Hyundai's Montgomery plant is on Hyundai Boulevard, next to exit 164, and I-85 starts at exit 171. In Shelby County, ALDOT is widening I-65 to six lanes between exit 231 near Calera and exit 238 at Alabaster, with completion projected for spring 2028. Around Birmingham, I-459 leaves at milepost 250 in Hoover and I-20/59 crosses at exit 261.
In Nashville, I-65 meets I-440 at exit 80, shares exits 82 to 84 with I-40 and exits 86 to 88 with I-24 (TDOT). Tennessee keeps truck tractors and semitrailers in the right two lanes where signs are posted, except when passing (Tenn. Comp. R. & Regs. 1680-10-02-.03). Winter storms can block the road farther north: in the December 23, 2022 storm, KYTC reported I-65 northbound blocked at mile marker 40 in Warren County, Kentucky, by a jackknifed tractor-trailer. Indiana numbers its exits by INDOT reference post. In Indianapolis, I-65 crosses I-465 at 106 and 123 and runs with I-70 between 110 and 112. INDOT's I-65 Safety and Efficiency project on the southeast side, from north of I-465 to just south of Washington Street, began in spring 2025 and is expected to last about two years. It will leave four lanes each way between I-465 and I-70. At Gary, I-65 crosses I-80/94 (the Borman Expressway) at reference post 259 and meets I-90 at 262, two separate interchanges, before it ends.

Mobile to Montgomery, AL (mileposts 0 to 167)
The General W.K. Wilson Jr. Bridge carries four lanes of I-65 for more than six miles across the Mobile-Tensaw Delta between Mobile and Baldwin counties. ALDOT inspects it every year. The 2026 inspection began on March 30 and was planned to last eight months, and ALDOT warned of possible lane closures and reduced speeds. In a hurricane evacuation, ALDOT can reverse southbound I-65 to run northbound from Mobile to Montgomery. The governor orders it, team leaders staff each exit from exit 31 to exit 167, and ALDOT aims to have the operation wrapped up at least 12 to 24 hours before landfall. It has not been needed since Hurricane Dennis in 2005. When contraflow is ordered, both sides of the road run north between those exits, so check ALGO Traffic before a southbound run toward Mobile in hurricane season.
Calera to Birmingham, AL (mileposts 231 to 261)
ALDOT is widening I-65 to six lanes from exit 231 near Calera to exit 238 at Alabaster. The work replaces eight bridges, six over railroad tracks and two over County Road 26, in three phases, and ALDOT projects completion in spring 2028, with reduced speed limits in the construction areas. North of the work zone, I-459 leaves I-65 at milepost 250 in Hoover and I-20/59 crosses at exit 261 in Birmingham. ALDOT points drivers to ALGO Traffic for real-time updates.
Nashville, TN (exits 80 to 88)
I-65 meets I-440 at exit 80, runs with I-40 from exit 82 to exit 84 (I-40 exits 210 and 208), and runs with I-24 from exit 86 to exit 88 (I-24 exits 46 and 44) (TDOT). FHWA puts the shared sections at 1.00 mile with I-40 and 2.60 miles with I-24. Tennessee keeps truck tractors and semitrailers in the right two lanes in sections where signs are posted, and they may leave them only to pass, one vehicle at a time (Tenn. Comp. R. & Regs. 1680-10-02-.03). Have the exit numbers for both routes before you reach exit 80 northbound or exit 88 southbound.
Louisville, KY (exit 131, I-264, to Jefferson Street)
KYTC's I-65 Central Corridor project replaces or rehabilitates nine I-65 bridges in Louisville. The work is on the five miles between the Watterson Expressway (I-264, exit 131) and Jefferson Street downtown, and KYTC says 125,000 drivers rely on those bridges each day. The road closed on June 1, 2026 and reopened on July 29 with four of its six lanes, a reduced speed limit through part of the project and some ramps near the bridge work still closed. The first three replacement bridges, over Kentucky Street/Brook Street, Hill Street/CSX Railroad/Burnett Avenue and Bradley Avenue, are due in March 2027. Work has started on the other six, in the downtown area known locally as Hospital Curve. KYTC said in July they would be replaced or rehabilitated in phases with lane restrictions, and its project site now expects them to be done in late 2028. KYTC asks drivers who are not stopping in Louisville to use the signed detour, I-264 west (Georgia Davis Powers Expressway) and I-64. Check GoKY before you reach Louisville.
Indianapolis, IN (reference posts 106 to 123)
I-65 meets I-465 twice, at reference post 106 on the south side and 123 on the northwest side, and runs with I-70 for 2.13 miles between the split at 110 and the split at 112 (INDOT; FHWA). INDOT's I-65 Safety and Efficiency project covers about 5 miles from north of the I-465 interchange to just south of Washington Street. Work began in spring 2025 and is expected to last about two years. Crews are adding a lane each way between I-465 and I-70, which will leave four lanes each way. Expect work-zone lane and ramp restrictions on the southeast side until the project is done.
Gary, IN (reference posts 253 to 262)
I-65 does not run with I-80, I-90 or I-94. Northbound it passes US 30 at Merrillville (reference post 253), crosses I-80/94, the Borman Expressway, at 259, passes 15th Avenue at 261 and meets I-90, the Indiana Toll Road, at 262. It ends just past that at US 12/US 20, and INDOT's I-90 log lists Toll Road interchange 17 as "US 12, US 20, I-65". The Lowell weigh station is at reference post 241. The Borman and the Toll Road are three reference posts apart, so pick your exit before you reach 259.
