Alabama State Route 67
highway in Alabama
State Route 67 (SR 67) is a 47.107-mile-long (75.811 km) state highway in the U.S. state of Alabama that connects the city of Decatur to U.S. Route 231 (US 231) at Rainbow Crossing in Blount County. This highway serves as a connector between Decatur and Gadsden.
Route description
SR 67 begins at the entrance to the 3M plant along State Docks Road; this is also the end of state maintenance of the road; new reassurance markers were added to mark this new terminus in early 2019. Past this point, the road continues as a road servicing several important power plants in northern Decatur.
After a half-mile concurrency between The Beltline and State Docks Road with SR 20 and U.S. 72 Alternate—both State Docks Road and The Beltline carry SR-67's name—the route turns south onto The Beltline. This junction is often believed to be the northern terminus of the route.
The mile-long stretch between here and SR 24 carries on the Corridor V name. It loses the name at the Parclo interchange with SR 24. The route continues south as The Beltline. It passes by a Martin's—a clothing chain also known as Wakefield's in Oxford; this chain has stores only in Alabama—and continues southeast to the Decatur Mall.
This brief starts where responsible research should: with the source description of “Alabama State Route 67” as highway in Alabama. Everything that follows is an evidence route, not borrowed authority.
Why this record matters
The subject matters to the general reference register because the source frames it as highway in Alabama. Its deeper value depends on whether names, dates, institutions and citations support that framing.
The citation trail is more important than the brevity of the summary: it shows where individual claims can be examined in context. The source revision retrieved here is dated Jul 15, 2026. The linked authority identifier is Q873514. Authority coordinates are 34.616, -87.031. 2 of 2 selected statements include explicit references; 0 carry qualifiers and 0 use preferred rank. The first chronological checks are 2019.
A concise general-reference account can conceal disagreements about scope, terminology or the weight assigned to individual sources. The lead is largely declarative, so disagreement and counter-evidence require a deliberate search beyond the opening account. Authority statements aid reconciliation but still require their own references, qualifiers and ranks to be checked.
