Talk:Alabama State Route 5

The first available map is from 1926.

• Mobile to Thomasville: SR-6; SR-5 by 1928; SR-13 by 1957
• Thomasville to Safford: SR-6; SR-5 by 1928
• Safford to north of Woodstock: SR-35; SR-5 by 1928
• North of Woodstock to Birmingham: SR-2; SR-5/SR-7 by 1928
• Birmingham to Jasper: SR-8; SR-4/SR-5 by 1928; SR-4 removed by 1997
• Jasper to Haleyville: none; CR-29 by 1955; SR-4/SR-5 by 1957; SR-4 removed by 1997
• Natural Bridge to Haleyville: none; SR-195 by 1951; SR-5/SR-13 by 1957; SR-5 removed by 1995
• Jasper to Haleyville via Double Springs: SR-43; SR-5 by 1928; SR-195 by 1957
• Haleyville to Phil Campbell: SR-43; SR-5 by 1928; SR-5 removed by 1995
• Phil Campbell to Florence: SR-5; different SR-5 (see below) by 1928; SR-13 by 1957
• Note: it's unclear if SR-5 was extended north from Phil Campbell when SR-17 was moved off what is now SR-237. USGS shows that it was or that it even used the old road: [http://www.terraserver-usa.com/image.aspx?T=2&S=14&Z=16&X=135&Y=1187&W=3&qs=%7cphil+campbell%7cal%7c] [http://www.terraserver-usa.com/image.aspx?T=2&S=12&Z=16&X=540&Y=4757&W=3&qs=%7cphil+campbell%7cal%7c]
• More notes: The 1964 map is the first to show the completed bypass of Spruce Pine; the old route is also shown as a numbered route, but no labels are shown. In 1965 the new SR-17 is open; the old route through Spruce Pine disappears by 1972. No official maps have shields along this section.
• Florence to Tennessee: SR-50; SR-5 by 1928; SR-13 by 1957

;Continuations of 1926 routes

• SR-6: Safford to Selma
• SR-43: Jasper to Bankston

The initial SR-5 was split among SR-18, SR-19, SR-13, SR-5, and SR-34 in the renumbering. The overlap of old and new SR-5 between Phil Campbell and Florence is probably coincidental. These routes underwent many changes; the first map that shows another route between Phil Campbell and Florence is 1954, which takes SR-17 to Florence (but leaves SR-34 alone). In 1955, SR-17 extends northwest from Florence to Tennessee. The major renumbering between 1955 and 1957 resulted in SR-17 replacing SR-34, with the old route north of Florence becoming SR-157. SR-5 is truncated to Phil Campbell, with SR-13, which had ended there, continuing north (though using a different alignment to Phil Campbell, making SR-5 north of Natural Bridge "useless").
