yep...i grew up in alabama (slocomb), so i know that there are a lot of bridges that have not been included on here that need to be. I am in the process of adding them, however.

Good find! Keep an eye out for more abandoned bridges in Alabama and Georgia. I am told by an engineer who lives down there that there are quite a few abandoned bridges around, and I suspect we don't have them all listed here.
