Interstate 759 (I-759) is a part of the Interstate Highway System in the US stateofAlabama. It is a spur route that runs for 4.54 miles (7.31 km) between the cities of Attalla and GadsdeninEtowah 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.

Route description[edit]

Two green signs are located above an elevated portion of roadway with no traffic visible on a cloudy day.
I-759 becomes SR 759 at US 411.

I-759 begins at exit 182 of I-59 in Attalla.[3] 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.[4][5] 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.[6] At the US 411 interchange, the I-759 designation ends, but the route continues as SR 759 in spanning the Coosa River.[7]

History[edit]

A new four-lane bridge crossing the Coosa River opened in 2004.[8]

Future[edit]

Currently, there are plans to extend I-759 east to US 278 on the east side of Gadsden.[9] 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.[10] In May 2022, ALDOT announced that it would fund the $65 million eastern extension.[11] There have also been plans to extend the route west from I-59toUS 431inAttalla.[12]

Exit list[edit]

The entire route is in Etowah County.
