ALDOT to Replace SR-14 Bridge Over Sipsey River South of Aliceville

TUSCALOOSA – The Alabama Department of Transportation (ALDOT) plans to replace the SR-14 bridge over the Sipsey River south of Aliceville to improve mobility and safety. The existing bridge has reached the end of its service life and will be replaced with a modern structure designed to better serve current and future traffic needs.  The project is expected to begin Monday, Jan. 5, and will continue until fall 2027.  The contractor will build the new bridge beside the existing bridge. Therefore, no off-site detour will be required.

Katie Wright & Henry McMullen Jr.

After serving over 20 years in the U.S. Army and more than 15 years at Cox Communications, I knew it was time to come back home, to serve the community where I come from. Together with Katie, a beloved face of Aliceville, who has dedicated years working with the public, we put our hearts and heads together and decided to open a place that would bring people together through good food and great service. That’s how Mac’s BBQ was born, and the rest is history. We’ve proudly been in business for six years now, and every day is a blessing.
