Edmunds-Pettus Bridge

Detailed Description

The Edmund Pettus Bridge spans the Alabama River near Selma AL. The arch structure is common for bridges, and allows them to carry more weight than simply a flat road. The Edmund Pettus Bridge is historic - look up the story of the 1965 civil rights march across the bridge.
