Route description

SR 61 travels through Alabama's Black Belt region, perhaps the poorest area of the state. From its southern terminus at Uniontown, the highway travels through a sparsely-populated region along a two-lane road in a general northward trajectory. The highway takes a slight turn towards the northwest as it approaches its northern terminus at Greensboro.
