Interstate 222 (I-222) is a future Auxiliary Interstate Highway to be a connector between I-22/US-78 and the proposed I-422 near Birmingham, Alabama. It will be the 3rd numbered auxiliary route with the same number in it, 1st being I-444, 2nd being I-555, then the 3rd will be I-222. Like I-189, I-381, Portland, ME's iteration of I-495, I-587 and I-865, there will be no exits other than its termini.

History

The Interstate has been proposed because workers can not build an interchange directly between I-22 and I-422. The interchange cannot be built because of environmental issues. The Interstate lineup was approved May 18, 2012. The Interstate is not planned to be built until 2026 when I-422 is built.
