southeast of Talladega. Northbound SR 21 traffic must turn at SR 275 if they wish to stay on SR 21. Just north of the intersection, SR 275 becomes a two-lane road. Passing through lightly forested areas, SR 275 bypasses Talladega to the west and then curves to the northeast. Near an intersection with SR 77, SR 275 becomes a four-lane, divided highway and remains so until it ends at SR 21 northeast of Talladega. At this intersection, similar to SR 275's southern terminus, southbound SR 21 traffic must turn left in order to stay on SR 21.
