Route description
SR 81 is a two-lane road for its entire length. In addition to connecting Tuskegee and Notasulga, it serves as a route for motorists traveling on Interstate 85 to access the two towns. Traffic on SR 81 increases significantly when the Auburn Tigers football team is playing at Jordan–Hare Stadium. Motorists traveling from the west along I-85 can exit onto SR 81 and follow it to eastbound SR 14, which leads to Auburn.In September 2004, a segment of SR 83 near the Tuskegee Airmen National Historic Site was dedicated Tuskegee Airmen Boulevard by the National Park Service.
A project to replace the SR 81 bridge over Uphappee Creek north of Tuskegee began in November 2022. The new bridge is expected to be completed in summer 2024.
