history
Alabama State Route 20 opened in 1929 between Margerum and Tuscumbia . After eleven years, the line was extended to Huntsville in 1940 . In 1957, the State Route took over the stretch of the former Alabama State Route 2 to the border with the state of Tennessee. The east end of the State Route was initially moved to Madison in 2000 and again to the intersection between Interstate 65 and 565 in 2005.
