In
Phil Campbell, SR 13 splits off of US 43, continuing on its
right-of-way. It enters the town and meets
SR 237. It then enters
Marion County. It enters
Bear Creek and intersects
SR 172. It turns east-to-west and leaves Marion County, entering into
Winston County. The route immediately enters the city of
Haleyville. It turns north-to-south again and meets
SR 195 and
SR 129. It leaves the city and continues south for about ten miles to
Natural Bridge. It intersects
SR 5 south and
US 278. SR 5 continues south along SR 13's right-of-way. SR 13 maintains a mile-long concurrency with US Route 278, before turning onto its own right-of-way. It continues south until it crosses the county line into
Walker County. It eventually intersects
I-22/
US 78 and also passes through
Eldridge, meeting
SR 118 in the process. It then crosses into
Fayette County. It intersects
SR 102 near
Hubbertville. It enters
Berry and meets US 43 once again with
SR 18. US 43 joins SR 13 along its journey south to
Tuscaloosa and
Mobile. SR 18 continues east to
Oakman. This route serves as an effective bypass to US 43 for people traveling from
Muscle Shoals to Tuscaloosa, or even making the long drive down all the way to Mobile, bypassing multiple large cities and not diverting from its path like US 43. == Future ==
