Route description

The southern terminus of SR-75 is at the junction with Interstate 59 and U.S. Highway 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. Highway 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.
