Route description
Шаблон:Unreferenced section I-165 begins at its northern terminus, an interchange with I-65.

History
I-165 began life as a planned Interstate 210 (I-210). Many problems, including community opposition and access to the Mobile waterfront, prevented the freeway from reaching its intended southern terminus at I-10; I-165 ends about Шаблон:Convert short of I-10 and becomes Water Street. Since the road had no connection to I-10, the number 210 was no longer applicable to the freeway, so 165 was chosen instead.[1]
Construction of the freeway commenced in early 1991 and was originally slated for opening in April 1995.[2][3] Costing $240 million (equivalent to $Шаблон:Formatprice in Шаблон:Inflation-yearШаблон:Inflation-fn) to complete, the route was officially opened to the public at 5:00 pm on October 28, 1994.[1] In attendance at the ceremony were former governor Jim Folsom Jr., US Representative Sonny Callahan, and Federal Highway Administration head Rodney Slate.[1] Upon its completion, it saved commuters traveling between downtown Mobile and the northern suburbs along I-65 an average of nine minutes.[4] While still under construction in 1993, efforts to name the freeway in honor of Mobile baseball great Satchel Paige never materialized.[5]
Its construction resulted in the demolition of many structures within downtown Prichard, including such landmarks as the main public library and fire station.[6]
