It is a spur route that runs for Template:Convert between the cities of Attalla and Gadsden in Etowah County. It begins at I-59 in Attalla and ends at U.S. Route 411 (US 411) in southern Gadsden adjacent to the Gadsden Mall. After it loses its I-759 designation, the route continues east as the at-grade thoroughfare State Route 759 (SR 759) until the route ends at SR 291 in Gadsden. SR 759 is the only odd-numbered route in the state that is signed as “east–west” rather than “north–south”.
Route description
I-759 begins at exit 182 of I-59 in Attalla.[1] 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.[2][3] 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.[4] At the US 411 interchange, the I-759 designation ends, but the route continues as SR 759 in spanning the Coosa River.[5]
1.18 km from the start of Route 759, the freeway becomes a single carriageway roadway before ending at George Wallace Drive.
History
Script error: No such module "Unsubst". A new four-lane bridge crossing the Coosa River opened in 2004.[6]
Future
Currently, there are plans to extend I-759 east to US 278 on the east side of Gadsden.[7] 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.[8] In May 2022, ALDOT announced that it would fund the $65 million eastern extension.[9] There have also been plans to extend the route west from I-59 to US 431 in Attalla.[10]
