U.S. Highway 80 West - Phenix City

Crossing the Chattahoochee River into the state of Alabama along the limited-access J.R. Allen Parkway. This freeway extends westward from Alternate U.S. 27 northeast of Columbus, Georgia to U.S. 280 & 431. Photo taken 08/22/03. |

Beyond the Summerville Road diamond interchange, the only mainline junction of the J.R. Allen Parkway in Alabama, is this one-half mile guide sign for the upcoming U.S. 280 & 431 interchange. Photo taken 08/22/03. |

Along the freeway bypass itself is this "Temporary End" guide sign, posted just before the U.S. 280 & 431 junction. It is speculated that the limited-access highway may have continued U.S. 80 westward without a merge onto U.S. 280/431. It is unclear at this time whether or not an extension will be built.
