Northbound U.S. 29 at the Alabama/Florida state line and beginning of Alabama 113 northbound. The two highways cross a railroad line and than meet U.S. 31 in the next series of photographs. Southward U.S. 29 travels through Century en route to Gonzalez, Cantonment, and ultimately Pensacola. Photo taken 11/25/01.
U.S. 29/Alabama 113 northbound at U.S. 31 in the town of Flomaton. To the left, U.S. 31 travels westward 14 miles to Atmore. To the right, the three highways share asphalt for one mile before parting ways with Alabama 113. U.S. 29 and 31 continue in shared fashion to the city of Brewton (pop. 5,498), also 14 miles from this locale. Photo taken 08/24/02.
A bank of shields is posted in a traffic island at the U.S. 29 & Alabama 113 merge onto U.S. 31 north. This intersection marks the historic terminus of the original U.S. 331. Before the current incantation of U.S. 331 came into existence, U.S. 331 composed a short route between Pensacola, Florida and Flomaton, Alabama (pop. 1,588). The original U.S. 331 was done away when U.S. 29 was extended southward to Pensacola. To the left, U.S. 31 travels to Atmore (pop. 7,676), Bay Minette (pop. 7,820), and ultimately Spanish Fort (pop. 5,423). Top photo taken 11/25/01, bottom photo taken 08/24/02.
U.S. 29/31/Alabama 113 reassurance shields, posted just to the east of the overlap begin. The state highway is signed all the way to the state line crossing of U.S. 29 for continuity purposes for Pensacola traffic to/from Interstate 65 at Exit 69. This segment of U.S. 29/31/Alabama 113 northbound is being four-laned. Photo taken 08/24/02.
Situated in downtown Brewton, the split between U.S. 29 and 31 northbound. U.S. 31 northbound continues straight ahead to the Conecuh County seat of Evergreen near Interstate 65. U.S. 29 meanwhile turns to the right, traveling southeastward with Alabama 41 a short distance to East Brewton. Photo taken 11/25/01.
Still within the city limits of Brewton is this southbound scene and reassurance shields for U.S. 29/Alabama 41. The town of 5,498 residents is just seven miles north of the Florida state line. Photo taken 11/25/01.
U.S. 29 and Alabama 41 southbound prepare to split. The upcoming intersection is of significance to State End fans as the intersection marks the southern terminus of the hidden Alabama 15. Alabama 15 takes over for Alabama 41 and carries U.S. 29 northward to the George state line. Photo taken 11/25/01.
The split of U.S. 29 south with Alabama 41 south. U.S. 29 travels a lonely 45 miles eastward through the Conecuh National Forest to Andalusia while Alabama 41 continues another six miles to the south into Florida. At the state line the route transitions to Florida 87. Photo taken 11/25/01.
Asides from the hamlets of Dixie and Rome, the only significant point of U.S. 29 between Brewton and Andalusia is the junction with Alabama 137. This northbound photograph looks at the northern terminus of the state highway. Alabama 137 is completely amassed within the Conecuh National Forest as it connects U.S. 29 with the Florida state line 14 miles away. Photo taken 11/25/01.
Entering the Andalusia vicinity, U.S. 29 encounters a short overlap with Alabama 55. A shuffle of the area routes occurred with the completion of the northern bypass of the town. With it, Alabama 55 relocated along old U.S. 29 from downtown to this intersection. The two highways than continue northward to U.S. 84. Old Alabama 55 between downtown and U.S. 84 is now locally maintained. Photo taken 11/25/01.
The northern split of U.S. 29 and Alabama 55 at U.S. 84. U.S. 84 brings Alabama 55 into the Andalusia area from River Falls, three miles to the northwest. To the east, U.S. 29 and 84 route along the four lane north bypass. Photo taken 11/25/01.
This photograph looks at old U.S. 29 in the downtown area of Andalusia. The route entered downtown from the west along current Alabama 55 before turning northward to the current east end of the U.S. 29/84 overlap. Photo taken 11/25/01.
Entering the city square of Tuskegee in Macon County. Here U.S. 29 northbound merges with U.S. 80 eastbound for a seven mile overlap through the nearby National Forest. Alabama 81 begins on the northside of the square. Photo taken 08/22/03.
U.S. 29 & 80 overlap begin
The southern terminus of Alabama 81 is found in the downtown area of the town of Tuskegee (pop. 11,846). Coinciding with this conclusion is the beginning of the U.S. 29 and 80 overlap. The two routes pair together in the city square area. Photo taken 08/22/03.
U.S. 29 north and 80 eastbound reassurance shields, posted after the northbound beginning of Alabama 81. A Truck Alabama 81 overlaps with the two federal routes eastward to bypass the in-city routing of Alabama 81. Photo taken 08/22/03.
Approaching the split of Truck Alabama 81 northbound from
U.S. 29 north & U.S. 80 east. Note that an erroneous Alabama 80 shield is posted in lieu of U.S. 80. The
truck route returns to Alabama 81 just south of the Alabama 199 eastern terminus near Interstate 85.
Photo taken 08/22/03.
Truck Alabama 81 northbound departs while U.S. 29 & 80
proceed eastbound through the Tuskegee National Forest. Again an Alabama 80 shield is posted in place of U.S.
80. Photo taken 08/22/03.
Well within Tuskegee National Forest, U.S. 29 northbound
departs from U.S. 80 east. At this point, an interchange exists to facilitate the adjacent eastern terminus of
Alabama 186. To the north, U.S. 29 travels ten miles to the city of Auburn (pop. 42,987). Alabama 186
doubles back to Exit 42 of Interstate 85. The state route allows Interstate 85 bound motorists convenient access
for U.S. 80 and its destination of Phenix City (pop. 28,265). Photo taken 08/22/03.
U.S. 29 south
U.S. 29 southbound as it departs the downtown city square
of Tuskegee and the U.S. 80 overlap. Eight miles south is the village of Davisville. 14 miles beyond that
community is the Bullock County seat of Union Springs (pop. 3,670). Photo taken 08/22/03.
U.S. 29 southbound at U.S. 84/Martin Luther King Junior Expressway. Old U.S. 29 travels south into downtown and is now locally maintained. Also traveling into downtown is former Alabama 100. The state highway used to end at U.S. 29 in Andalusia, connecting with U.S. 84 east of town. Photo taken 11/25/01.
The first set of U.S. 29/84 southbound/westbound reassurance shields. The four lane bypass of Andalusia is designated the Martin Luther King Junior Expressway. The overlap totals just two miles. Photo taken 11/25/01.
