Description

This is the lift bridge that crossed the Black Warrior River from Northport to Tuscaloosa. It stood until the early seventies when the Hugh Thomas Bridge was built. The bridge emptied traffic onto Greensboro Avenue. In the foreground can be seen boats that were for rent of excursions or fishing on the river.
