[edit] Route description

State Route 101 is 39 miles long.[1] It travels through rural areas of Lawrence and Lauderdale Counties, and is aligned along a two-lane route. The route crosses the Tennessee River at the border between the two counties it traverses.

Until 1997, the southern terminus of State Route 101 was at its junction with State Route 24.[2] When State Route 24 was realigned along a route slightly north of its original placement as part of the construction of Corridor V, State Route 101’s southern terminus was not truncated.

State Route 101 is one of two Alabama state routes whose northern terminus is at Tennessee State Route 227. The Tennessee state route travels westwardly from its junction with State Route 101, then turns southward and crosses back into Alabama as State Route 157.
