| Interstate 20 maintains six lanes between the Interstate 59 merge and Interstate 459 symmetrical stack interchange. Depicted here is the westbound sign bridge for Exit 135/Old Leeds Road. The diamond interchange intersects a connector roadway between U.S. 78/Bankhead Highway to the north and Old Leeds Road to the south. Photo taken 08/24/03.

| The first Birmingham city interchange of Interstate 20 westbound is Exit 132 with Montevallo Road. Montevallo Road is an important east-west arterial for the city, traveling to Homewood (pop. 25,043) and Mountain Brook (pop. 20,604) to the southwest. Photo taken 09/27/03.

| U.S. 78 crosses underneath Interstate 20 east of the Exit 132 modified diamond interchange. Montevallo Road begins at this junction, intersecting the adjacent U.S. 78 just to the south. Photo taken 09/27/03.
|
| Located just to the west of the Exit 132 interchange is the two mile guide sign of Exit 130A, the merge of Interstate 59 south onto Interstate 20 west. In the background is a frontage road between Montevallo Road and Oporto-Madrid Boulevard. The road eventually becomes the Interstate 20 westbound on-ramp. Photo taken 09/27/03.
|
| Exit 130B departs Interstate 20 westbound for 1st Avenue South. U.S. 11 is just two blocks to the west along 1st Avenue North. The street between the two arteries is that of Division Street. Ahead Interstate 20 westbound merges onto Interstate 59 southbound in one half mile. Photo taken 09/27/03.
|
| Interstate 20 westbound enters the tight trumpet interchange of Exit 130A. The substandard ramps induce a slower 50 mph speed limit for both of the Interstate 59 connecting ramps. Photo taken 09/27/03.
