You say that the bridge was destroyed by fire in 1961, but it was actually the morning of June 29, 1962. You can read it at the archives of The Tuscaloosa News for 6/29/92, hosted by Google:

I posted links to 3 photos from the Alabama Department of Archives and History. I'm not sure if I'm allowed to post the photos on here.
