Route description
History
Prior to the 1957 renumbering, SR 143 was numbered State Route 45; it was renumbered because of US 45.[2][3]
Prior to the construction of I-65, SR 143 crossed the Alabama River on the Tyler–Goodwyn Bridge and entered Montgomery on Parallel Street. The bridge, scene of the murder of Willie Edwards, was subsequently removed.[4]

gollark: Nothing about "purpose" or anything, just "don't fully undrstand".
gollark: The main problem I had with that rule is that it was originally "they don't fully understand".
gollark: Not *every* decision, just lots of them.
gollark: Partly "admins are always right" and... oh look you fixed that other rule, that's good.
