Route description
SR-91 is a two-lane route that travels through rural areas of Cullman County. Although it is signed as a northbound route, the first eight miles (13 km) of the route from its southern terminus actually travel in southeastwardly direction. At Arkadelphia, the route takes a virtual 90-degree turn to the left and assumes a northeastwardly trajectory, which it maintains for the duration of the route.
SR-91 junctions Interstate 65 eleven miles (18 km) southwest of Hanceville, and provides a connecting route for motorists heading to and from this town. Our Lady of the Angels Monastery, founded by Mother Angelica, is located near SR-91 between I-65 and Hanceville.
Much of the route between Wilburn and Interstate 65 is a narrow winding road through hilly rural terrain. In some places, the road is actually substandard for it to be a numbered state route. However, from I-65 north and east the roadway is substantially better and contains less sharp turns and short sightlines.
Major intersections
The entire route is in Cullman County.
