Green Springs Highway

Green Springs Highway is a multi-lane road and major north-south route continuing University Boulevard in Birmingham's Glen Iris neigborhood from the north to Columbiana Road in Homewood. In Homewood, much of it has supplanted Columbiana Road.

The change to Green Springs Highway from University Boulevard begins around 16th Avenue South, just north of Ward Park. The road then runs south past the west side of the park, through Walker Gap in Red Mountain, and across Valley Avenue and Oxmoor Road. The highway ends as Green Springs at Lakeshore Drive/Lakeshore Parkway, continuing as Columbiana Road southward into Vestavia Hills. The entire highway is part of Alabama State Highway 149.

From approximately 1/3-mile north of Valley Avenue to Columbiana Road, Green Springs Highway is where the Birmingham (east side) and Homewood (west side) city limits meet.
