Warrior Road

Warrior Road is a street in Ensley.

The western section of Warrior Road begins at Pike Road as a continuation of 35th Street Ensley, running southeast, south of Oakland Cemtery and then bends as it joins 40th Street Ensley, continuing east as the border between Ensley Highlands to the north and Central Park and Belview Heights to the south. It meets the eastern section at Avenue T Ensley.

The eastern section of Warrior Road continues from there through the Fairview neighborhood behind Five Points West Shopping Center and across Ensley 5 Points West Avenue. It parallels Bessemer Road for a few blocks and ends at Cullman Avenue. Addresses in the eastern section once advanced from east to west, but were revised after 1941 to continue the numbering from the western section.
