    I have been over this bridge countless times…read more Bridges are truly a wonder of mankind. It allows us to (in a fashion) walk on air and allows a simpler form of transportation from here to there. This bridge is one of those landmarks in my travels that says that I am almost in Mobile, Alabama.

    The Cochrane-Africatown USA Bridge, also known as the Africatown Bridge, is a significant landmark…read morein Mobile, Alabama, with both historical and cultural significance. The bridge is named after the neighboring Africatown community, which is considered one of the most important historical sites in the state. Africatown was formed by a group of West Africans who were among the last known group of enslaved people brought to the United States from Africa in 1860, just one year before the start of the Civil War. Following the war, many of the formerly enslaved people returned to the area, forming Africatown as a community of their own, in an attempt to preserve their cultural heritage and create a new life for themselves. The Cochrane-Africatown USA Bridge spans over the Mobile River, connecting downtown Mobile to the Africatown community, thus linking the city's history of slavery, resilience, and perseverance to the modern day. The bridge is an important symbol of the strength and endurance of the people of Africatown and acts as a reminder of the injustices they and many others faced. Over the years, efforts have been made to preserve the historical value and promote the cultural awareness of Africatown, and the bridge has played a key role in these efforts. It has been restored and revitalized with new public art displays that serve as a celebration of African American history and the cultural influence of the African diaspora. Additionally, the bridge has spurred economic development in the area, with increased access leading to new businesses and housing developments. Overall, the Cochrane-Africatown USA Bridge serves as more than just a transportation link between two areas of Mobile. It is a symbol of the historical, cultural, and economic significance of Africatown, representing the resilience and achievements of the African American community in the face of tremendous adversity. Bottom line: The ride was smooth, the view marvelous and I liked it so much I went back over it on my way home.
