Was not me but our son lives in Chattanooga, and I've been wondering how bad I-59 is to pull through all that rough concrete. Steve

This experience is several years old, and I hope is now out of date, but here goes: We were traveling east on I-20, took the south loop around Birmingham, then picked up I-59 to go up to Gadsden, AL. Within minutes of driving on I-59 we encountered the roughest stretch of interstate we had ever been on. It was so bad I said, "I'm turning off at the next exit, no matter how I get to Gadsden!" So we did and wound along delightful country roads until we came to a detour that put us back over on I-59. Thankfully, we had passed that terrible stretch, and made it on to Gadsden with no more problems. That stretch of rough freeway could not have been more than 20 - 30 miles at most, but it was the worst I have ever experienced.

David, They are working on it but I can't tell a lot of difference from what you describe. Kinda makes you wonder if anyone from ALDOT has ever traveled that strech of highway with thier family. Steve

That road is not as rough as I94 east from Battle Creek, MI.. We have been on both...

That I-20 was bad but the worse I've been on was about 10 years ago on I 40 from Little Rock to Russelilve Ark. I had to pull over on the side of I 40 to see if I had a tire and wheel loose. Nope...it was the road.

Well going north on I59 is not pleasant experience its more like a roller coaster in the right lane for sure.........
