History
When State Route 166 was created in 1972, its western terminus was approximately two miles south of the current terminus. The original route began at an intersection approximately 10 miles (16 km) northwest of Opp.[2] At this intersection, eastbound traffic on US-84 was routed onto northbound State Route 141, and through traffic on the roadway that had been carrying US-84 traffic continued on State Route 166 until it junctioned US-84 again west of Elba. In 1989, State Route 166 and US-84 exchanged routings between State Route 141 and Elba as part of improvements, including widening to four lanes, of US-84 across south Alabama.[3]
Major intersections
The entire route is in Coffee County.
