HJR 43 Alabama House · 2026 Regular Session

Naming the bridge on Alabama Highway 63 that spans Sugar Creek in Alexander City the Dr. Larry Tuggle Memorial Bridge

This resolution (HJR 43) proposes naming a bridge on Alabama Highway 63 over Sugar Creek in Alexander City as the "Dr. Larry Tuggle Memorial Bridge." It honors Dr. Larry Tuggle, a local engineer, Marine Corps veteran, and long-time community volunteer who died in 2021, recognizing his service to Alexander City through organizations like Habitat for Humanity and the volunteer fire department. The resolution encourages the Alabama Department of Transportation to coordinate with local officials to name the bridge and install appropriate signage, though it does not mandate the change. This is a commemorative gesture, not a policy or funding measure.
