Five Points in Tuscaloosa as viewed from Loop Road: AL 216 East is the Old Birmingham Hwy (to Brookwood and Bucksville), AL 215 North heads for Cottondale and US 11, AL 215 South to Alberta City |
End Alabama 215 North at US 11 in Cottondale: US 11 takes over as University Blvd |
Approaching the Alabama 5 South junction on US 11 in North Bibb -- to the right, out of the picture, is a shopping center and water tower; the intersection itself is marked with a flashing caution light for traffic on US 11 (AL 5 North must stop) |
Over the second hill beyond the AL 5 junction, one has passed back into Tuscaloosa County -- this right turn is actually onto a .1 mile stretch of road in Tuscaloosa which then becomes Bibb Co. 12 |
Green Pond: Bibb Co. 12 at Eastern Valley Road -- a left takes you to Tannehill, I-459 and Bessemer, a right back to AL 5 through Woodstock and North Bibb, and going straight takes you into Shelby County ranch territory and eventually Helena |
