WEIGH STATION

Alternate Route Information
The short route is to take exit 5 for route 27 south. Take 27 toward Utica to route 18 north- left turn. Take route 18 north to I 20 east. This is all good roadway with plenty of truck traffic.
Another option if you are headed on I 20 from the middle of Louisiana toward Tuscaloosa or Birmingham Alabama, the best bypass we have found is to run up route 165 in Louisiana into Arkansas and take route 82 east to Tuscaloosa. This route bypasses the Delta, Louisiana scale and the Bovina and Kewanee Mississippi scales.
You take exit 118 B on I 20 in Louisiana for route 165 toward Bastrop (away from Columbia). You’ll be on route 165 for 75.5 miles until you come to the town of Montrose. Route 165 is a good 2 lane/55 mph road. When you are in Montrose you will follow signs for route 82 east. You’ll see the overpass for route 82 and you will turn right onto the access way before the overpass. You’ll go up to the stop sign and turn right onto route 82. You will be on route 82 for 251.5 miles. It’s a long way but it brings you into Tuscaloosa, Alabama. If you prefer, when you get to Tuscaloosa, you can take route 69 south which turns into I 359 south rather than taking route 82 all the way to I 20.
