I-65 End to End: States, Miles and Mile Markers

I-65 runs 887 miles south to north from Mobile, Alabama to Gary, Indiana, crossing 4 states. Its longest stretch is 366 miles across Alabama; its shortest is 122 miles in Tennessee.

State Miles Share Cities and mile markers
Alabama 366 41% Mobile 5 · Montgomery 172 · Birmingham 259 · Huntsville 341 (19 mi off)
Tennessee 122 14% Nashville 84
Kentucky 137 15% Bowling Green 25 · Louisville 136
Indiana 262 30% Indianapolis 113

Mile markers count from each state's southern line and start again at the next one, which is how most states number their exits as well. They are measured along the same road geometry these pages draw, so they land within a mile or two of the posted markers. A toll road that runs its own continuous numbering is the exception — on the New York Thruway the posts continue from New York City — and there the figure is how far into the state the place is rather than the number on the sign. Distances are measured state by state, never across a gap.
