SJR 17 Alabama Senate · 2026 Regular Session

Naming portions of Alabama state routes 5, 69, 195, and 257, as well as Industrial Parkway, in Walker County, Alabama, as the Smith Lake Parkway

SJR 17 is a resolution (not a law) proposing to name specific roads in Walker County, Alabama, as "Smith Lake Parkway." It requests the Alabama Department of Transportation name portions of State Routes 5, 69, 195, and 257, plus Industrial Parkway, from Interstate 22 to the Walker-Winston County line. The resolution encourages installing signage along this route to guide tourists to Smith Lake, a major tourism destination for boating and fishing. This is a non-binding request for the DOT to consider the naming designation, pending legislative approval.
