-The '''Grants Mill Lake Purdy Bridge''' is a two lane bridge over [[Lake Purdy]] in northern [[St. Clair County]]. The bridge, built in [[1935]] and has a main span length of 170 feet. An emergency inspection by ALDOT in July [[2002]] noted the deteriorated condition of the steel structure would need to result in strictly enforced weight limits and warning signs be placed at the approaches to the structure.

-Due to the continued deteriorating state of the structure and motorists ignoring both speeding and weight regulations, in August [[2007]], Birmingham mayor [[Bernard Kincaid]] threatened to close the bridge altogether if motorists continued to ignore its restrictions.
