north of Montgomery, US 31/Alt. US 72

SB from Prattville toward Montgomery, looking at the original US 31 bridges now carrying the NB lanes.

An isolated SB photo at I-65 Exit 238.


NB into Birmingham, with the first two photos overhead and the last one on the exit ramp.


A matching set SB.

NB at US 280 - but which way do I go to get to the airport?


Ancient button copy on Rosedale Drive, which becomes US 280 here, courtesy John Krakoff and submitted by Adam Prince. Rosedale Dr. is old US 280 to the west of the US 31 freeway and it comes from old US 31, 18th St. S. Click for buttony closeup.


US 31 SB/US 280 on the Birmingham freeway, second and third photos courtesy John Krakoff and submitted by Adam Prince. I preserved as much button copy as I could from the original photo at the cut-off 25th St. exit.


I got some button copy of my own, but the only sign left is at the end of US 280. I couldn't even get a US 280 shield involved in these photos - my best chance came on 21st Ave. S eastbound, but all I got was the US 31 shield atop the page with no accompaniment.


Jefferson CR 120 (Walker Chapel Rd.) EB, then turning right toward Birmingham for a few miles.


SB and looking left at a decrepit truss. If you'd like to see a lot more of that truss, skip over to the old Garden City alignment via the big link at bottom, but don't forget to come back here afterward!


SB from US 278 into Cullman County. CR 6200 is a misplaced route in an area that would be better suited to 620. It appears to be a mobile home park.

Decatur button copy.


SB across this lake with AL 20/Alt. US 72 WB.
