State Route 21 is a 279-mile (449 km) state highway that extends from Piedmont in Calhoun County to the Florida state line near Atmore in Escambia County. The route runs almost the entire length of the state from the northeast to the southwest. It is the longest signed state route in Alabama.

Route description

View north from the south end of SR-21

Starting at the northern terminus of State Route 97 at the Florida state line south of Atmore, the route runs north through Atmore, then enters Monroe County and runs northeast through Frisco City and Monroeville and is co-routed with SR-47 for part of this section. SR-21 then once again becomes a standalone route passing through Beatrice and Oak Hill. In Lowndes County, SR-21 begins its first concurrency with US-80, and the two routes enter Montgomery, the state capital, from the southwest. SR-21 then diverges northeastward from US-80 for a short concurrency with US-31, then travels concurrently with US-80 once again (as well as US-82) around the Montgomery city center, diverging from US-82 at US-231 and running concurrently with US-231 northward to Sylacauga at an interchange with US-280. Southeastroads.com gives this opinion on the part of the highway through Montgomery:

"Alabama 21 gets lost in the confusion on the Boulevards of Montgomery. Quite a lack of respect for a state route that begins at the Florida state line and does not end until northeast of Anniston."

From Sylacauga, SR-21 turns northeastward toward Talladega. The route passes close to the Talladega National Forest and the Talladega Superspeedway. From here, SR-21 continues generally northeastward through the cities of Oxford, Anniston, and Jacksonville before terminating at an intersection with SR-9 in Piedmont. The route is paved throughout and often multi-lane. Counties traversed by the route include Escambia, Monroe, Wilcox, Lowndes, Montgomery, Elmore, Coosa, Talladega, and Calhoun.
