A little-traveled bridge in Northport is still closed two weeks after it was damaged in a vehicle crash.

The city reported that a concrete guardrail on a bridge over the railroad on 5th Street past the Tuscaloosa National Airport was damaged by a vehicle during the second week of July.

While crews assess and repair guardrail, the bridge is closed to vehicle traffic, affecting a short stretch of road from 6816 5th Street to Highway 82.

A very brief detour using Airport Road should limit the impact of the closure.
