In Alabama, I-65 passes through or near four major metropolitan areas: [[Mobile, Alabama|Mobile]], [[Montgomery, Alabama|Montgomery]], [[Birmingham, Alabama|Birmingham]], and [[Huntsville, Alabama|Huntsville]]. I-65 begins its path northward in Mobile at its junction with [[Interstate 10|I-10]]. From I-10, I-65 runs west of downtown Mobile and through the northern suburbs of the city before turning northeast towards Montgomery. In Montgomery, I-65 connects with the southern end of [[Interstate 85|I-85]]. In the Birmingham suburbs, I-65 has an [[highway interchange|interchange]] with [[Interstate 459|I-459]] and another interchange in the city at [[Interstate 20|I-20]]/[[Interstate 59|I-59]]. North of downtown, [[Interstate 22|I-22]] branches off I-65 toward [[Memphis, Tennessee|Memphis]]. From Birmingham, I-65 continues north, crossing the [[Tennessee River]] near [[Decatur, Alabama|Decatur]]. A few miles north of the river, it intersects [[Interstate 565|I-565]], a short [[spur route]] which provides access to Huntsville. It then continues north out of the [[Tennessee Valley]] to [[Tennessee]] toward [[Nashville, Tennessee|Nashville]].
