state highway in the west-central part of the U.S. state of
Alabama. The southern terminus of the highway is at an
intersection with
U.S. Route 80 (US 80) at

SR 61 travels through Alabama's

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.
