The Anniston Eastern Bypass, or Eastern Parkway, is completed as of December 2015. The portion of this road is known within Oxford as Leon Smith Parkway. Within Anniston, from Oxford to Choccolocco Road, this road is known as Golden Springs Road and the remainder as Veterans Memorial Parkway. The road ultimately intersects SR 21 at a trumpet interchange in northern Anniston. The parkway crosses a portion of the former Fort McClellan property which contained some unexploded ordnance from military training that dated back more than 70 years. This segment also crosses some hilly terrain which required a significant amount of earth removal in order to build this road. The parkway is accessible directly from SR 21 and US 431. The entire route will be a four lane with only a few traffic signals to control traffic flow. In December 2015, ALDOT re-routed US 431 onto this new route leaving only SR 21 serving the downtown Anniston area along Quintard Avenue. Most of the new Eastern Parkway lies within the Anniston city limits except for a short segment near I-20 which is within the city of Oxford.
