HJR 31 Alabama House · 2025 Regular Session

Daryl Brown, Sr., bridge named

This bill (HJR 31) requests that Alabama's Department of Transportation name a specific bridge on Interstate 20/59 over Grant Creek in Tuscaloosa County as the "Daryl Wayne Brown, Sr. Memorial Bridge." It directly affects the Alabama DOT, which would need to coordinate with local officials to implement the name and install appropriate signage. The resolution commemorates Daryl Brown, a retired Alabama State Trooper and community member who died in a car accident near the bridge, honoring his 28-year service and family legacy. The bill is procedural and commemorative, not a policy change requiring new funding or regulations.
