HJR 133 Alabama House · 2026 Regular Session

Naming the bridge on United States Highway 45 that spans Bennett Creek in Mobile County the Sidney Alden Hobbs Memorial Bridge

HJR 133 is a resolution proposing to name the bridge on U.S. Highway 45 spanning Bennett Creek in Mobile County, Alabama, as the "Sidney Alden Hobbs Memorial Bridge." It honors Sidney Alden Hobbs, a Mobile County resident who lived with brain cancer while maintaining a positive spirit and community involvement. The resolution encourages the Alabama Department of Transportation to consider this designation and install appropriate signage, though it does not mandate the change. This is a ceremonial resolution, not a binding law, and directly affects the specific bridge location in Mobile County.
