The U.S. Highway 31 bridge at Lakeshore Drive is an arched, sandstone bridge constructed in 1942, creating an early cloverleaf intersection between U. S. Highway 31 and Lakeshore Drive in Homewood.
The Alabama Department of Transportation is planning to replace the bridge to accommodate a wider roadway. The department is aware of the aesthetic and historical value of the existing bridge and expects to take those factors into account when planning its replacement.
