Route Description


State Route 49 serves a connecting route giving access to several major routes for residents of rural areas and small towns along its route. For motorists in Macon County, it serves as an access route to Interstate 85 leading towards Montgomery. Motorists in southern Tallapoosa County use State Route 49 to access U.S. Route 280 leading towards Alexander City and Birmingham; the two routes intersect at Dadeville. North of Dadeville, State Route 49 passes through rural areas and small towns in eastern Alabama, passing through New Site, Mellow Valley and Lineville.

Route Changes


When State Route 49 was created in 1940, the route ran only from Tallassee to Dadeville. As a result of several northward extensions, by 1969 the route extended to a junction with U.S. Route 78 near Heflin. In 1973, the route was extended southward to its current terminus at Interstate 85 in Macon County. When State Route 281 was created in 1995, the northernmost section of the route was truncated.
