Route description

The southern terminus is at an intersection with US 431 in Sardis City.[2] From this point, the highway travels in a northerly direction through Boaz and Albertville prior to turning to the northwest en route to its northern terminus at another intersection with US 431 near Guntersville.[3]

History

SR 205 is routed along the roadway formerly designated as U.S. Route 241. During the 1940s, US 241 was relocated to the current routing of US 431. US 241 was changed to US 431 in 1953. In 2006, the portion of SR 205 in Etowah County is called The Jack Toney Memorial Highway.
