Routing [edit]

From its southern terminus at U.S. Route 341 near Culloden, State Route 83 goes in a northeast direction to Forsyth. Once in Forsyth, the route forms a concurrency with U.S. Route 41 going to downtown Forsyth. Once in downtown Forsyth, the route departs U.S. Route 41 and forms a brief concurrency with State Route 42. Soon after the concurrency with State Route 42 ends, State Route 83 intersects with Interstate 75 before leaving Forsyth. Before leaving Monroe County, the route intersects U.S. Route 23 near Juliette. The route continues in a northeast direction toward Monticello, where it has an intersection with State Route 380 just south of the city. State Route 83 then makes its way to downtown Monticello where it intersects with State Route 11, State Route 16, and State Route 212. The route then leaves Monticello and goes toward Madison. On the way to Madison, the route has an intersection State Route 142 in Shady Dale. State Route 83 has an intersection with Interstate 20 just south of Madison before forming a concurrency with U.S. Route 278. The route also forms a concurrency with U.S. Route 129 and U.S. Route 441 before reaching downtown Madison. Once in downtown Madison, State Route 83 leaves the concurrency and travels in a northwest direction toward Monroe, going through the towns of Bostwick and Good Hope, where the route has an intersection with State Route 186. State Route 83 continues in a northwest direction until its northern terminus with U.S. Route 78.
