U.S. 29 travels northeast from Lower Alabama to the I-85 corridor north from Auburn-Opelika to Atlanta, Georgia. U.S. 29 enters Flomaton, Alabama along a four lane highway extending north from Pensacola, Florida. U.S. 31 combines with U.S. 29 east from there to Brewton, where it turns north toward Evergreen. Beyond the Escambia County seat, U.S. 29 follows a mostly rural course east to Andalusia, where it overlaps with U.S. 84, before turning to Brantley where it joins U.S. 331.
U.S. 29/331 run concurrent for 9.5 miles along a four lane, divided arterial or three to four lane boulevard. U.S. 331 continues north from their separation to Montgomery while U.S. 29 turns east again en route to Troy and Banks. U.S. 29 then arcs northward along to eventually reach Union Springs and U.S. 82.
Northward, U.S. 29 advances to Tuskegee, where it combines with U.S. 80 east for 7.4 miles to a parclo interchange with SR 186. U.S. 80 branches southward en route to Phenix City while U.S. 29 converges with Interstate 85 on the south side of Auburn. Through the Auburn and Opelika area, U.S. 29 previously connected the business districts of both cities. The route was relocated southward onto a 13.11 mile long overlap with I-85 between Exits 51 and 64. This change was approved by the American Association of State Highway and Transportation Officials (AASHTO) on April 8, 2000.
The last stretch of U.S. 29 in east central Alabama loops northeast from Interstate 85 to the city of Valley. The highway meets I-85 again at the final interchange in the state, which lines the south city limits of Lanett. U.S. 29 joins Downtown Lanett with West Point, Georgia as it spans the Chattahoochee River into the Peach State.
