Route Description

State Route 119 begins as a two-lane route, passing through Montevallo, the home of the University of Montevallo. Going northward, SR 119 travels through Alabaster, where it follows U.S. Route 31 to Pelham, where it branches off into its own route once again in the Oak Mountain State Park area, then to the eastern area of Hoover, where it crosses U.S. Route 280 before reaching its northern terminus at the junction with US 78 in Leeds.
Until the 1980’s much of the route of SR 119 passed through rural areas of Shelby County. Suburban growth has led to commercial and residential growth adjoining the route. In 2005, a four-mile section of SR 119 south of U.S. Route 31 in Alabaster was widened to four lanes.
