TY - JOUR PY - 2003// TI - Always passable JO - American city and county A1 - Ursery, S. SP - 42 EP - 42 VL - 118 IS - 9 N2 - In 1997, a severe ice storm paralyzed the cities of Florence and Sheffield, Alabama, making the 4-lane, 2,000-foot-long O'Neal Bridge over the Tennessee River impassable. In response, in order to prevent this problem from recurring, the Alabama Department of Transportation will install a deicing/anti-icing system on the O'Neal Bridge. The system will monitor the weather during winter months and automatically dispense a deicing agent when conditions arise, thus keeping the flow of traffic between the 2 cities moving under all weather conditions.
