Alabama Street Bridge – No Longer There

Video from the east looking west at where the Alabama Street bridge over I-69 once stood, recorded on Saturday, May 9, 2026. This demolition was necessary since the I-69 mainlanes under the bridge will be lowered, meaning the bridge foundations need to be lower as well.

Construction on the new Alabama Street bridge over I-69 is anticipated to be completed by February 2027.
