U.S. 231

U.S. 231

U.S. 231 stretches north from the southeast corner of the state at Houston County to Tennessee north of Hazel Green. The US highway comprises part of a regional corridor connecting Montgomery with the Florida Panhandle and Panama City via Dothan, Ozark and Troy. North from Wetumpka, U.S. 231 follows a rural route to Sylacauga, where it combines with U.S. 280 northwest to Harpersville. U.S. 280 leads west to the Birmingham area while U.S. 231 stays to the east through Pell City and Ashville.

Turning west through Oneonta and north from Cleveland, U.S. 231 remains with just two lanes to the south side of Arab. Crossing into Marshall County, U.S. 231 expands to four lanes as a commercial arterial through Arab, and otherwise progresses north to Laceys Spring and the Huntsville metropolitan area. Memorial Parkway leads U.S. 231 north through Huntsville as an upgraded freeway west of Downtown. U.S. 431 combines with the highway from Governors Drive north to Fayetteville, Tennessee.

U.S. 231 bypasses Dothan along the western half of Ross Clark Circle (SR 210). U.S. 431 uses the eastern half, while U.S. 84 overlays both on the northern arc. All three US highways were relocated from in-city routes onto the arterial beltway per AASHTO on October 4, 1996. The former routes were redesignated as Business US Highways during the same action.
