BRIEF SUMMARY
A toll bridge spans the Black Warrior River connecting Interstate 20/59 to Northport, Alabama. The bridge is privately owned by Tuscaloosa By-Pass and its website is http://www.tuscaloosabypass.com/Default.aspx. The bridge was installed as a means of streamlining and expediting traffic to Northport and reducing truck traffic from the …show more content…
