Roads and Junctions We Know in Prichard and Chickasaw
Prichard sits just north of Mobile, and Chickasaw lies beside it on the creek of the same name. St. Stephens Road and Wilson Avenue run through Prichard, and Telegraph Road carries U.S. 43 north through Chickasaw toward Saraland. I-165 links downtown Mobile to I-65 at Prichard, and I-65 runs along the west side of both towns.
The busiest corners are where I-165 meets I-65 and where Telegraph Road crosses the main streets of Chickasaw. Rail lines cross many of the roads here, and the crossings near the industrial areas and the river are rough on suspension parts. Older streets with patched asphalt and potholes after a wet summer add to the wear on ball joints, struts and tires.

Weather and Your Car in Prichard and Chickasaw
The low ground near Chickasaw Creek and the rivers floods after heavy rain, and a summer storm can put water across the low streets fast. Driving through standing water soaks brakes and wiring and can pull water into the engine. If the car stalls in water, do not keep cranking it. The damp air near the creek and the river is also hard on connectors and brake hardware.
Dust and grime from the industrial areas along the river settle on cars and load air filters and cabin filters. The long summer heat wears down batteries and works A/C systems hard, and older cars kept on the road for years feel it first in their cooling systems, hoses and belts.
