Tuscaloosa Riverwalk Unification Project

planned

Plans are underway to connect the three segments of the Tuscaloosa Riverwalk, creating a continuous path around the Black Warrior River spanning over 9 miles. The project includes Phase 3 expansion and improvements to Jack Warner Parkway, a $47 million project to widen driving lanes under the railroad trestle and improve intersections, connecting the Western Riverwalk to the path near the Mercedes-Benz Amphitheater. Additional extensions include linking the Riverwalk past Manderson Landing and the University of Alabama campus, connecting to the pedestrian portion of the new Woolsey Finnell Bridge, and adding almost two miles of new trail in the Northern Riverwalk with construction starting in Spring 2026. The entire project aims to be completed by 2030.
