Public Works
About Us
It is the mission of the Tuscaloosa County Public Works Department to serve the citizens of Tuscaloosa County by building, improving, and maintaining Tuscaloosa County’s roads, bridges, and related infrastructure.
The Public Works Department is responsible for the maintenance of roads, bridges, and related structures throughout the county. The department is continuously participating in ongoing construction projects that are made possible by both local and government funding.
The Tuscaloosa County Bridge Department is one of the few departments in the state that builds its own pre-cast bridge components for county-funded bridge projects.
