Notes
  • Significance: The Tensaw River Lift Bridge is one of the oldest remaining lift bridges in Alabama. It is important in local history as an integral component of the "Cochrane Bridge", a 10.5 mile-long causeway connecting Mobile and Baldwin counties over Mobile Bay. The construction of the causeway helped complete the "Spanish Trail", a transcontinental highway designed to increase tourism and commerce on the Gulf of Mexico coast and westward. It is the work of Harrington, Howard & Ash Consulting Engineers of Kansas City, Missouri, one of the most important early 20th century bridge designers in the United States. The bridge is not currently listed on the National Register of Historic Places
