29th Avenue South is a three-block (1/4-mile) long street in the Homewood Central Business District. The three-lane, east-west road runs from 18th Street South in the west to Independence Drive (U.S. Highway 31) in the east. It features both angled, forward parking and parallel parking at various points along the road sides.
29th Avenue was originally part of Montgomery Highway (U.S. Highway 31). From a southbound perspective, the highway curved east from 18th Street (although 18th continued south) to travel along 29th Avenue to what is now Independence Drive, where it curved south again. Highway 31 was rerouted to the Elton B. Stephens Expressway, once the Red Mountain cut was completed in 1970. The western curve at 18th was converted to a standard T-intersection in the 1990s.
