State Route 75 is a state highway in Alabama that extends 130 miles northeastward from Birmingham to the Georgia state line. The route runs west of U.S. Route 11 and roughly parallels that route as well as Interstate 59. Other cities and towns along the route include Center Point, Pinson, Oneonta, Albertville, and Rainsville.
The southern terminus of SR 75 is at the junction with Interstate 59 and U.S. Route 11 at the intersection of Parkway East, Roebuck Drive and Gadsden Road in eastern Birmingham. Until the 1990s, SR 75 overlapped US 11 along 1st Avenue North into downtown Birmingham, continuing to the junction of the two routes with U.S. Route 78.
After leaving Birmingham and Jefferson County, the route of SR 75 takes it through rural areas of Blount County, Marshall County and DeKalb County. In 1999, work was completed widening SR 75 to four lanes into Oneonta. North of Rainsville, SR 75 leads toward Trenton, Georgia. North of the Georgia state line, the route is numbered State Route 301.
