Interstate 759 (I-759) is a part of the Interstate Highway System in the U.S. state of Alabama. It is a spur route that runs for 4.54 miles (7.31 km) between the cities of Attalla and Gadsden in Etowah County. It begins at an Interstate 59 (I-59) in Attalla and ends at U.S. Route 411 (US 411) in southern Gadsden adjacent to the Gadsden Mall. The route continues east as the at-grade thoroughfare State Route 759 (SR 759) until the route ends at SR 291 in Gadsden.

Route description
I-759 begins at Exit 182 of I-59 in Attalla.[3] From this point the route travels in an easterly direction across a marshy area prior to reaching its first exit at Black Creek Parkway, a diamond interchange.[4][5] From the Black Creek exit, I-759 continues in its easterly direction and crosses the Coosa River along a causeway and short bridge prior to reaching US 411.[6] At the US 411 interchange, the I-759 designation ends, but the route continues as SR 759 in spanning the Coosa River.[7]
History
Lua error in package.lua at line 80: module 'strict' not found. A new four lane bridge crossing the Coosa River opened in 2004.[8]
Future
Currently, there are plans to extend I-759 east to US 278 on the east side of Gadsden,[9] as well as west towards Attalla and linking it to SR 77.[citation needed] This would mean that SR 759 would be completely Removed.
Exit list
The entire route is in Etowah County.
