SR140 begins at an intersection with US80/US80 Truck/SR14 Truck/SR22 Truck/SR41 just southeast of Selma. It heads to the east-southeast roughly parallel to the Alabama River. As the river curves to the northeast of Selma, so, too, does SR140. Near the end of the highway, the river bends away to the east and SR140 continues to the north. It ends at an intersection with SR14 southeast of Burnsville, less than 0.5 miles (0.80km) from the Autauga County line.[1]
History
SR140 was previously created on a route from US82/SR6 east of Gordo to US82/SR6 in Coker. This route was decommissioned by 1979 and is now County Road 140. The current SR140 was created between 1983 and 1985.[2] It is routed along the former route of SR14. When a new bypass route heading from the northeastern side of Selma towards Prattville was completed, SR14 was aligned along the new route, and SR140 was assigned to the former route of SR14.
