The Tuscaloosa By-Pass is a four-lane, limited-access toll road that runs along the western edge of Tuscaloosa and Northport, Alabama. Designed to divert through traffic away from congested city routes, the Bypass has become a vital transportation corridor for commuters, commercial drivers, and visitors.
Its strategic location reduces travel time for drivers connecting between I-59/20 and U.S. 82, while also providing better access to industrial sites, retail centers, and residential neighborhoods. The Bypass plays a key role in the economic vitality of Tuscaloosa County, supporting logistics operations, retail activity, and tourism.
The toll plaza and bridge are maintained and operated by American Roads LLC, ensuring that toll revenue is reinvested directly into infrastructure maintenance, upgrades, and customer service.
