Wikipedia:WikiProject U.S. Roads/Alabama/1957 renumbering

This apparently happened on January 1, 1957. Since the pre-renumbering source I have is from 1955, some of these changes may have happened before then.

• SR-1: replaced SR-37 and became SR-38 and SR-21 between Opelika and Anniston
  • Done to match US-431

Originally went south on what is now US 431, SR-51, and unnumbered roads to Eufaula; rerouted to the west over parts of SR-11 and SR-21 in 1930; old route renumbered as SR-37 north of SR-26

• SR-2: swapped with SR-20 west of Florence-Tuscumbia
  • Done to match US-72
• SR-3: replaced SR-12 and became SR-59 south of Stapleton
  • Done to match US-31
• SR-4: moved to new route and became SR-118 between Hamilton and Jasper (this change may have happened before the renumbering)
• SR-5: became SR-13 south of Thomasville; swapped with SR-195 between Jasper and Haleyville; became SR-13 north of Phil Campbell
• SR-6: rerouted over SR-208 in Montgomery; the old route became part of SR-143 (this change may have happened before the renumbering; if so, the old route became part of SR-45 first)
• SR-9: became SR-15 and replaced SR-98 and SR-15 south of Brantley
  • Done to match US-331
• SR-11: became SR-21
  • Eliminated because of US-11

  • Done to match US-84
• SR-13: replaced SR-5 south of Thomasville; replaced SR-40 and became SR-69 between Linden and Tuscaloosa; moved to new route and became SR-171 (except one section that was already part of SR-18) between Bankston and Phil Campbell; replaced SR-5 north of Phil Campbell (the Bankston to Phil Campbell change may have happened before the renumbering)
  • Done in part to match US-43
• SR-14: replaced SR-40 west of Eutaw; replaced SR-41 between Eutaw and Marion; replaced SR-43 between Marion and Selma
• SR-15: became SR-87, SR-12, and SR-9 and replaced SR-9 and SR-12 south of Troy

• SR-22: replaced SR-63 east of Alexander City
• SR-23: became SR-25 from Ashville to Centre; continued north to Georgia via SR-9 until 1954/1955
  • Note: SR-23 is not on the 1957 or 1958 maps at all; this is probably an error.
• SR-25: replaced SR-99 south of Greensboro; replaced SR-92 from Greensboro to Centreville; replaced SR-21 and SR-177 and became SR-53 between Vincent and Ashville; replaced SR-23 and SR-62 and became SR-53 between Ashville and Oneonta

  • Not used because of US-29
• SR-30: became SR-51 west of Clayton; replaced SR-130 west of Louisville, but this change was undone shortly after the renumbering
• SR-31: unless another one was created, the number was eliminated by 1946 by being renumbered to SR-112, probably because it crossed US-31. Se SR 112 below to see what happened to it.
