Contents |
SR-279 begins at the intersection with SR-79 south of Scottsboro. It ends at the intersection with U.S. Highway 72 at Hollywood, just east of Scottsboro. SR-279 also intersects State Route 35.
SR-279 is routed along the former route of SR-79. In the 1980s, a bypass was constructed around the west side of Scottsboro, which alleviated congestion in the city. When the bypass was completed, SR-79 was routed on the new roadway and SR-279 was created.
The entire route is in Scottsboro, Jackson County.
