A group in Scottsboro Alabama is trying to save an 83-year-old bridge from being torn down. State officials say preserving the B.B. Comer bridge over the Tennessee River is a costly uphill battle. Supporters are trying to get nonprofit status to raise $5 million dollars to maintain the old bridge. They say the steel span has plenty of sentimental value and want to see it preserved like Chattanooga's Walnut Street Bridge. But for now the clock is ticking, even if demolition is still a couple of years off.
