Interstate 359 (I-359) is a part of the Interstate Highway System in the US state of Alabama. It is a spur route that runs for 2.76 miles (4.44 km) entirely within the city limits of Tuscaloosa. Its termini are just south of I-20/I-59 interchange on the south side of town and U.S. Highway 43 (US 43) in downtown Tuscaloosa. The entire length is concurrent with U.S. Highway 11 (US 11) and Alabama State Route 69 (SR 69), with both continuing as at grade thoroughfares north and south of the shorter Interstate.
I-359 begins just south of the I-20/59 interchange at the western terminus of Skyland Boulevard (US 11, SR 7) and SR 69. From this point the route travels in a northerly direction where it meets Interstate 20/59 at a partial cloverleaf interchange. The route reaches its first exit at 35th Street in a half cloverleaf configuration, which provides access to the University of Alabama. I-359 then continues in a northerly direction paralleling Greensboro Avenue to its northern terminus just north of 15th Street where the limited access freeway transitions into an at grade thoroughfare as it enters downtown Tuscaloosa.
