State Route 216, also known as SR-216, is a numbered state highway in Tuscaloosa County, Alabama. SR-216 follows the former route of U.S. Highway 11 through eastern Tuscaloosa County.

Route description

The route starts in eastern Tuscaloosa at University Boulevard (State Route 215) and Veterans' Memorial Drive and ends just as it crosses over Interstate 20/59 and unsigned U.S. Highway 11 and State Route 5 in Bucksville, just short of the Tuscaloosa-Jefferson county line.

The highway passes through the coal-mining country of eastern Tuscaloosa County. The largest towns on the highway are Brookwood and Lake View. The highway is mostly narrow and windy and is known for the high number of fatal accidents on the Brookwood-to-Tuscaloosa stretch.[2]
