History
[edit]For a brief period in the late 1940s, a state route designated State Route 146 existed in Jefferson County, Alabama. The route was established some time between 1946 and 1947, and was discontinued some time between 1949 and 1951.[2][3] The route began in Irondale at the intersection of State Route 4 and Georgia Road, following Georgia Road to 1st Avenue South, then following 1st Avenue South to 57th Street North, then on 57th Street North, terminating at US 11 in Woodlawn.
Route description
[edit]SR 146 begins at an intersection with SR 65 in Swaim. It travels to the south-southeast and almost immediately intersects the southern terminus of Jackson County Route 9 (CR 9). It curves to the southeast and crosses over Paint Rock River. Right after the river are intersections with the southern terminus of Jackson CR 516 and the eastern terminus of Jackson CR 142 in quick succession. The highway proceeds to climb over 1000 feet in the course of two miles. The highway curves to the east and travels just south of Baileytown. After an intersection with Jackson CR 138, the highway curves to the northeast and crosses over Guess Creek. It curves to the east-southeast and intersects the northern terminus of Jackson CR 544 on the northwestern edge of Sanders Cemetery. It travels along the northern edge of the cemetery, crossing Mill Creek. Approximately 1,500 feet (460 m) later, SR 146 intersects the eastern terminus of Jackson CR 545. It then meets its eastern terminus, an intersection with SR 79. Here, the roadway continues as Jackson CR 107.
Major intersections
[edit]The entire route is in Jackson County.
