There seems to be recurring confusion whenever road directions are given to drivers involving crossing the Black Warrior River owing to a widespread lack of knowing what the names of the bridges are. This is particularly acute regarding Hugh Thomas and Woolsey Finnell bridges. Other cities with bridges do not seem to have this problem. This can be easily solved with better (larger, for example) signage at the bridges. Look how large the Rice Mine Road exit sign is on McFarland and compare that to any of the signs which announce the bridges themselves.
