Dauphin Street - Mobile

Dauphin Street originally ran just between Midtown and Downtown in Mobile. During the 1960s and 1970s, Dauphin Street was extended west as a four lane divided parkway to a new interchange with Interstate 65 and McGregor Road.

Dauphin Street forms a one way couplet with St. Francis Street westbound from Broad Street east into Downtown Mobile. The final blocks of Dauphin Street are known as the LoDa (Lower Dauphin Street Entertainment District). In addition to a number of bars and restaurants, attractions at LoDa include the nearby Saenger Theatre (home to the Mobile Symphony) and Bienville Square.

The final blocks of Dauphin Street and St. Francis Streets, along with Royal Street altogether, were converted to two way streets to improve accessibility for RSA Tower and the adjacent Battle House Hotel. The new traffic pattern was announced in 2003.
