Between 1962 and 1968, the section of State Route 106 between its junctions with Interstate 65 and U.S. Highway 31 saw significant traffic. The temporary northern terminus of the Interstate Highway route was at the interchange with State Route 106, and motorists had to use the state route to connect with US-31, which parallels I-65 through Alabama.http://cartweb.geography.ua.edu:9001/StyleServer/calcrgn?cat=North%20America%20and%20United%20States&item=States/Alabama/State%20Roads/Alabama1962a.sid&wid=500&hei=400&props=item(Name,Description),cat(Name,Description)&style=simple/view-dhtml.xslhttp://cartweb.geography.ua.edu:9001/StyleServer/calcrgn?cat=North%20America%20and%20United%20States&item=States/Alabama/State%20Roads/Alabama1969a.sid&wid=500&hei=400&props=item(Name,Description),cat(Name,Description)&style=simple/view-dhtml.xsl
