US 43 and SR 17 pass Dismals Canyon before intersecting the eastern terminus of CR 8, the southern terminus of CR 143, the western terminus of CR 51, and a brief unsigned concurrency with CR 16 (Gravel Hill Road/College Road; which leads to Phil Campbell and Northwest Shoals Community College's Phil Campbell campus), all in rapid succession. They intersect the southern terminus of CR 20. They then intersect CR 26. Approximately later is a second intersection with SR 13, which joins the concurrency. They intersect CR 22 and curve to the north. They intersect the eastern terminus of CR 64. Farther to the north is an intersection with the eastern terminus of CR 36. They curve to the northeast and then cross over CR 46 (Fletcher Road). They enter Russellville. They have a brief unsigned concurrency with CR 63 (Old Water Plant Road/Military Road). This intersection is also the western terminus of CR 42 (Walnut Gate Road). In the main part of the city, the highways have an interchange with SR 24. The three highways curve to the north-northwest and intersect the western terminus of CR 48 and the eastern terminus of Courtland Road Northeast. They curve to the north-northeast and intersect CR 56 (Lagrange Road). After a short departure from the city limits, the highways re-enter the city very briefly. After they leave the city again, they curve to the northeast. US 43, SR 13, and SR 17 have one more brief transit of a portion of the city before leaving it for good. They pass the King Drive-In theater, the oldest, continually-operating theater in the state. The theater is on the corner of the intersection with CR 60. The concurrency very gradually curves to the north-northeast and enter Colbert County.
