History
US 29 was one of the original US Highways of 1926, its southern terminus being Tuskegee at the time. In 1934 the southern terminus was changed to Brewton. In 1936, the next extension to Pensacola, Florida, completed the entire route through Alabama.
US 29 was one of the minor US Highways because it does not connect major cities. Therefore, no Interstate Highway has been constructed directly off US 29 in Alabama, except for the northernmost section between Tuskegee and the Georgia border, where Interstate 85 was constructed between 1963 and 1966, rendering this section of US 29 no through-interest. had more.
The section between Brewton and Flomaton was widened in two phases to a 2×2 divided highway, the approach road from Brewton was widened to 2×2 lanes around 1970, the further widening to Flomaton was carried out in the 1990s. The section double-numbered with US 331 between Brantley and Luverne was widened to 2×2 lanes around 1998.
Traffic intensities
Every day, 6,500 to 12,700 vehicles drive on the four-lane section between Flomaton and Brewton, dropping to 1,400 vehicles between Brewton and Andalusia. Between Andalusia and Luverne, 1,500 to 3,000 vehicles and 6,300 vehicles drove on the four-lane section south of Luverne. Between Luverne and Troy, 3,000 to 3,800 vehicles and 1,000 to 2,400 vehicles ran between Troy and Union Springs. This increases slightly to 2,100 to 2,700 vehicles between Union Springs and Tuskegee and 3,000 to 4,000 vehicles between Tuskegee and Auburn. Auburn and Opelika have 15,000 to 30,000 vehicles, the busiest section of US 29, which runs through built-up areas. Further north, 3,000 to 6,500 vehicles run between Opelika and Valley and 24,000 vehicles between Valley and I-85. The last section near the Georgia border has 12,000 vehicles.

History
Before the current US 331 was introduced, with the creation of the US Highways in 1926, US 331 already existed between Pensacola, Florida and Flomaton, Alabama. This was a short route that became part of US 29 in 1936.
Today’s US 331 was added to the US Highways network in 1952. The route between Santa Rosa Beach, Florida and Montgomery, Alabama has not changed since then.
Some upgrades have been made to US 331. The section double-numbered with US 29 between Brantley and Luverne was widened to 2×2 lanes around 1998. In the period 1998-2001, the Opp bypass was constructed, along which US 84 also runs. South of Montgomery, an approximately 25-kilometer stretch has been widened to 2×2 lanes. This was carried out in phases from north to south between 2000 and 2012.
Traffic intensities
10,000 vehicles drive through southern Montgomery every day, making US 331 one of the quietest access roads to Alabama’s capital. This drops to 5,500 vehicles further outside Montgomery and 4,500 vehicles north of Luverne.
