Brian, Alabama: West
This map shows West Brian, directly west of downtown. The map looks pretty freeway-centric; most urbanites agree. But due to Brian’s remarkable growth from 1940 to 2000, all are necessary for auto traffic traveling to the western fringes of the city. I 10 spans the page horizontally; I 610 is the inner (right) loop; I 465 is the outer (left) loop; US 23 forks form I 10 at Brian Center; AL 55 forks from I 10 just before that, traveling southwest. AL 565 forks from I 465 at Kennesaw Mills, a large shopping area.
The airport (the nation’s fourth busiest behind ATL, LAX, and ORD) is at the bottom; Southern Alabama University is left of center. Brian Center (NBA) and Brian Stadium (NFL) are old, old stadiums that are currently being remodeled.
