Current routes
Dothan Business Route
U.S. Route 431 Business is a business route of and an original alignment of U.S. Route 431 in Dothan, Alabama. The route overlaps U.S. Route 231 Business (Dothan, Alabama), as well as Alabama State Route 1 and Alabama State Route 53.
US 231-431 BUS begins as a continuation along AL 1 (South Oates Street) at the Ross Clark Circle (Alabama State Route 210), where mainline US 231 moves to the west and US 431 begins at the east. Immediately after the circle, the routes curve from straight north to northeast. The road briefly curves straight north between West Carroll Street/East Carroll Street and South Alice Street, then runs northeast again. At East Cottonwood Road it is joined by Alabama State Route 53, and all four routes run straight north, only to make a slight north-northwest turn at Washington Avenue. After crossing a bridge over a railroad line, it intersects US 84 Business/SRs 12/52 (West and East Main Street), where South Oates Street becomes North Oates Street.
U.S. Route 231 Business (Dothan, Alabama)/Alabama State Route 53 branches off to the northwest onto Montgomery Highway to rejoin US 231, while US BUS 431/SR 1 curves to the northeast onto Reeves Street. Sharing the dual name of Martin Luther King Junior Boulevard, US 431 BUS/SR 1 immediately crosses a bridge over another railroad line between two rail yards. It makes a slight curve to the north-northeast between Headland Avenue and Bic Road. US 431 Business ends at the Ross Clark Circle (US 84/SR 210), but SR 1 continues to the northeast where US 431 leaves the overlap with the circle, and joins SR 1.
