Route description
The total distance of State Route 36 is 44.5 miles (71.6 km). The route is aligned along a two-lane road for its entirety. The junction with Interstate 65 is one of two exits the interstate highway has that leads to Hartselle. From the point of its origin until its junction with State Route 67 near Somerville, the route follows a general east–west orientation. From there, the route begins to ascend Brindlee Mountain and heads northeastwardly. Just east of its terminus at Lacey’s Spring, the route turns eastwardly as it leads towards US-231.
The current designation of State Route 36 was created in 1957 along the former route of State Route 33. Beginning in 1940, the first incarnation of State Route 36 was along the current route of State Route 33.
