Comer Bridge, Road bridge in Scottsboro, Alabama, USA.
Description
Comer Bridge was a road bridge crossing the Tennessee River near Scottsboro with steel Warren truss construction and two traffic lanes. It served as a major transportation link connecting communities and supporting regional commerce until its closure.
History
Built between 1929 and 1931 by the Kansas City Bridge Company, the bridge was named after Alabama's governor of that era. It closed in 2016 when a newer structure replaced its role on the highway.
Culture
The structure carried traffic through the region for decades, connecting communities on opposite sides of the river and shaping local travel patterns and commerce.
Practical
The bridge is no longer in service for traffic, having closed in 2016 and been removed from the river. Visitors interested in learning about it can find information through local historical resources and community records.
Did you know?
After its demolition, steel components from the structure were repurposed into a pyramid sculpture installed at Scottsboro High School. This artistic creation preserves the bridge's legacy in a unexpected way for the local community.
