Alabama State Route 113

SR 113 provides one of the main routes to Pensacola, Florida from Interstate 65 through Escambia County. The state route leads 13.51 miles south from I-65 to combine with U.S. 29/31 west 1.14 miles into Flomaton. U.S. 31 continues west to Atmore while U.S. 29/SR 113 turn south 0.807 miles to the Florida state line at Century.

An increasingly important route for logging interests, hurricane evacuations, and tourist traffic to the Emerald Coast, planning for the expansion of SR 113 to a four lane highway commenced in 1967. Construction expanded the route finally got underway on September 11, 2007 and was completed on November 13, 2008.1

Alabama State Route 113 was established by 1948 along the U.S. 29 alignment between U.S. 31 in Flomaton and Century, Florida. An extension of that short route followed by 1979, lengthening the highway north to the Barnett Crossroads interchange (Exit 69) along Interstate 65.
