SR 145 is aligned on a two-lane route for its duration. It serves as a connector route between Clanton and Lay Lake, which lies along the Chilton–Shelby county line. After leaving Clanton, the highway travels to the north through rural areas of farm and timberland, and travels through no major cities or towns. It leaves Chilton County and enters Shelby County after crossing Waxahatchee Creek.
Unlike most state routes in Alabama, the northern terminus of SR 145 is at a junction with a county road. Shelby County Route 61 north of SR 145 serves as a continuation of the state route, heading into Wilsonville, where the route intersects SR 25.
