In Mobile, I-65 has 4 lanes, but when you get closer to Saraland, those lanes go down to 2. Which can make traffic even worse. That's why Alabama lawmakers have passed a resolution asking ALDOT to do a study about widening I-65. Even Lieutenant Governor Will Ainsworth has spoken out about the headaches that I-65 causes motorists, saying the gridlock of the roadway hurts Alabama’s economic development.
