Built in 1924, Bull Slough Bridge spans the beautiful Sepulga River northeast of Brooklyn in Conecuh County. The 252-foot steel Warren through-truss bridge was constructed during Alabama’s early automobile era, when counties replaced primitive river crossings with stronger permanent structures. Rehabilitated in 1970 and still standing today, the bridge remains one of southwest Alabama’s surviving historic truss bridges and a reminder of the transportation networks that linked the region’s rural communities.
Today this historic bridge has also become known as a scenic landmark associated with recreation on the Sepulga River. The bridge is a part of the Sepulga River Canoe Trail. At one end of the bridge is a sign that contains a detailed map of the canoe trail. Located at this end of the bridge is a concrete canoe put-in ramp. The Bull Slough Bridge is also a put-in for a featured Piney Woods birding site on the Alabama Birding Trails.
Bull Slough Bridge is located NE of the community of Brooklyn, AL on Bull Slough Road approximately 1.4 miles east of the intersection of Bull Slough Road and CR-43 (Bull Slough Bridge – Google Maps).
