Sixth Avenue South is a major east-west corridor in downtown Birmingham. It is the farthest westward-reaching avenue on downtown Birminghmam's south side, the westernmost portion being designated 6th Avenue Southwest and ending at the entrance to Elmwood Cemetary on Martin Luther King, Jr. Drive. The eastern most segment is less than half a mile southwest of I-20.
Sixth Avenue is continuous from Martin Luther King, Jr. Drive to 40th Street South, passing under I-65, through the northern edge of the UAB campus, and under the Elton B. Stephens Expressway. There is a two-block gap in the street between 40th and 42nd Streets South for Avondale Park. There are several more gaps east of there, most notably at Crestwood Boulevard.
