Paul Bryant Bridge, Road bridge in Tuscaloosa, United States.

The Paul Bryant Bridge is a twin-span, four-lane road bridge carrying Alabama State Route 297 across the Black Warrior River in Tuscaloosa. It is 3,785 feet (1,154 m) long and stands 150 feet (46 m) tall, the fourth crossing of the river in Tuscaloosa County.

Construction of the 3,785-foot twin-span began in March 2000 under the R.R. Dawson Bridge Company. Delays pushed the planned December 2003 opening to April 23, 2004. It was the first phase of the Warrior Loop project and the fourth crossing of the Black Warrior River in Tuscaloosa County.

The bridge bears the name of Paul Bryant, the legendary football coach at the University of Alabama, reflecting the deep connection between the city and college sports. This naming choice shows how local heroes shape the identity of places in the region.

The bridge carries four lanes of Alabama State Route 297 across the Black Warrior River, with a 150-foot (46 m) clearance and a 3,785-foot (1,154 m) total length. It opened on April 23, 2004, as the fourth river crossing in Tuscaloosa County, so drivers heading elsewhere in the county can compare it with the older crossings.

Two workers died during construction: one in October 2001 and another in April 2003, before the bridge opened on April 23, 2004. The 3,785-foot twin-span structure was built by the R.R. Dawson Bridge Company.
