Interstate 759
Route description
I-759 begins at exit 182 of I-59 in Attalla. From this point, the route travels in an easterly direction across a marshy area prior to reaching its first exit at Black Creek Parkway, a diamond interchange. From the Black Creek exit, I-759 continues in its easterly direction and crosses the Coosa River along a causeway and short bridge prior to reaching US 411. At the US 411 interchange, the I-759 designation ends, but the route continues as SR 759 in spanning the Coosa River.
History
This section needs expansion. You can help by adding to it. (August 2012) |
A new four-lane bridge crossing the Coosa River opened in 2004.
Future
Currently, there are plans to extend I-759 east to US 278 on the east side of Gadsden. In March 2021, the Alabama Department of Transportation (ALDOT) announced that they had authorized a $2 million to initiate the engineering design for the extension. In May 2022, ALDOT announced that it would fund the $65 million eastern extension. There have also been plans to extend the route west from I-59 to US 431 in Attalla.
