State Route 275
Alabama State Route 275 follows the Talladega bypass between SR 21 and SR 77 on the northwest side of the city. The 3.50 mile state route was completed in 19871 and construction to extend the road east to SR 21, southwest of Curry, commenced in May 2006. The four-lane bypass was near completion as of October 2012, after numerous delays due to funding woes.
