This bridge was demolished in 2003 for the southbound lanes of AL 35 when it was being four-laned. The road here was closed for leveling and reconstruction when this pic was taken. The demolition of this bridge was very unfortunate.

BB Comer served for 86 years, a complete lifetime. Unfortunately, its dimensions are sub-par to Coast Guard standards and, structurally, it is considered a hindrance to navigation.

Ruins of R.R. bridge across Tennessee River, at Bridgeport, Tenn.? (i.e. Alabama) and pontoon bridge in course of construction
Caption provided by Minnesota Historical Society from the NPS Civil War Series: The Battles of Chickamauga: The Confederates destroyed the railroad bridge over the Tennessee River at Bridgeport, Alabama, in their retreat from middle Tennessee. Major General Philip H. Sheridan's Union Division constructed the trestle and pontoon bridge in late August 1863 as part of Rosecrans's advance prior to Chickamauga. An engineering weakness caused the trestle structure to collapse twice during the Federal crossings. In this photo, the temporary bridge is under construction for the first time.
