I-459 begins at a trumpet interchange with I-20/I-59 near Bessemer and McCalla. Exit&nbsp;1, an interchange with Eastern Valley Road, provides access to the large Colonial Promenade shopping center and [[McCalla, Alabama|McCalla]] community. The freeway then passes under Pocahontas Road and next to the Bent Brook Golf Club before intersecting with Morgan Road at exit&nbsp;6. Morgan Road connects with [[Bessemer, Alabama|Bessemer]], [[Helena, Alabama|Helena]], and the western fringes of Hoover along with the [[Bessemer Airport]]. After Morgan Road, I-459 enters a much more populated and developed area, namely the large suburb of [[Hoover, Alabama|Hoover]]. Once interchanging with [[Alabama State Route 150|State Route&nbsp;150]] (SR&nbsp;150) at exit&nbsp;10, the highway turns northeastward and widens to 10&nbsp;lanes. Exit&nbsp;13 is with [[U.S. Route 31 in Alabama|US&nbsp;31]], a major suburban route through Hoover, [[Vestavia Hills, Alabama|Vestavia Hills]], and [[Pelham, Alabama|Pelham]]. A southbound flyover ramp at this interchange provides direct access to the [[Riverchase Galleria]]. The freeway then approaches its interchange with I-65, one of two four-level stack interchanges in the state (the other being its interchange with I-20). After the I-65 interchange, the roadway decreases to six lanes and has a minor interchange with Acton Road at exit&nbsp;17. As it exits Hoover, I-459 intersects with [[US Route 280 in Alabama|US&nbsp;280]], an 8- to 10-lane suburban [[arterial road|arterial]] that is one of the most congested roads in [[Birmingham-Hoover-Cullman Combined Statistical Area|Greater Birmingham]]. The area around this interchange contains many hotels and office buildings. After the US&nbsp;280 interchange, it turns north and enters a residential area along the [[Cahaba River]], crossing the river twice before passing the "Miss Liberty" ([[Statue of Liberty]] replica) and the exit&nbsp;23 interchange with Liberty Parkway and Overton Road. The highway passes east of [[Mountain Brook, Alabama|Mountain Brook]] while turning northeast and interchanging with Grants Mill Road at exit&nbsp;27. After this intersection, I-459 turns northward again as it approaches the suburb of [[Trussville, Alabama|Trussville]]. The interchange with I-20 is one of two [[stack interchange]]s in Greater Birmingham. In its last few miles, the highway intersects with Derby Parkway and [[U.S. Route 11 in Alabama|US&nbsp;11]] in Trussville before completing its {{Convert|33|mi|km|adj=on}} course with an interchange at I-59.
