Route description
From its beginning in Sumter County, SR 28 travels in a general southeastern trajectory through Livingston, the home of the University of West Alabama. After leaving Livingston, the highway travels through the Black Belt region of Alabama, one of the state’s poorest regions. The only towns whose population exceeds 2,000 that SR 28 travels through are Livingston, Linden, and Camden. East of Camden, the highway travels in a more eastern trajectory until its terminus approximately 13 miles (21 km) east of the town.
In June 2004, a segment of SR 28 near Coatopa was designated the Betty and Asa Green Highway. Asa Green served as president of Livingston State College (now the University of West Alabama) from 1973 to 1993.[2]
