Route description
[edit]State Route 19 travels 37.61 miles through Marion and Franklin Counties in northwestern Alabama. Beginning from SR 17 north of Detroit in Lamar County, SR 19 enters Marion County in 0.18 miles. SR 19 arcs northeast to Byrd and western reaches of Hamilton. Paralleling I-22/U.S. 78 north, SR 19 intersects SR 74 adjacent to Exit 7.
Leaving Hamilton, SR 19 continues 11.97 miles along a rural course from SR 74 into Franklin County. SR 19 proceeds 3.60 miles north to Pilot Hill and the west end of SR 172 by the town of Vina. SR 19 turns west 1.56 miles from SR 172 to CR 23 the town center.
SR 19 heads northwest from Vina into the city of Red Bay. A diamond interchange joins SR 19 with the expressway along SR 24 (Corridor V). Prior to December 2014, SR 19 concluded along 11th Street SE at 4th Avenue S/SE, the former alignment of SR 24 through Red Bay. Upon completion of the Red Bay bypass along SR 24, SR 19 was extended west over what was SR 24 along 4th Avenue S across Downtown Red Bay. SR 19 concludes at the state line, where Mississippi Highway 23 takes over south to Tremont.[2][3]
The entire length of State Route 19 is a paved two-lane highway.[4]
