AL 69 over BURLINGTON RR (Walker County, Alabama)

this bridge is scheduled to be replaced and it will take out part of the property i live on. there is a surface mine right behind me and i have severe property damage due to blasting. i can only imagine what it has done to the structure of the bridge over the past 2YEARS!!! especially considering it needed repairs in 2009. its too small and i agree quite ugly. i actually came to this site by accident. i was looking for a time-line for bridge repairs.
