General W.K. Wilson Jr. Bridge, Road bridge over Mobile-Tensaw River Delta, Alabama, United States.
The General W.K. Wilson Jr. Bridge spans 6.08 miles across the Mobile-Tensaw River Delta with dual parallel tied through arches of steel and concrete viaducts.
The bridge, constructed between 1978 and 1980, received its name from Walter K. Wilson, a Chief of Engineers with the United States Army Corps of Engineers.
The red warning lights and arch design led local residents to give this Interstate 65 crossing the informal name 'Dolly Parton Bridge'.
The structure carries four lanes of traffic and forms a critical transportation link between Mobile and northern destinations through Interstate 65.
In 2014, the bridge underwent significant repairs after a truck accident caused extreme heat damage to the concrete deck, requiring partial closure for several months.
