Dolly Parton for Alabama Bridge | Birmingham News
Description
State Rep. Cindy Myrex is pushing to rename the new Interstate 10 bridge in South Alabama after Dolly Parton, praising her as a living symbol of Southern values—generosity, perseverance, and hospitality. With her Imagination Library distributing millions of free books across Alabama, including to kids right here at home, Dolly’s impact on education far outshines her music career. Myrex argues the bridge—a landmark seen by millions—deserves a name that reflects community spirit and lasting legacy. While other lawmakers joke about naming it after Donald Trump or Jimmy Buffett, Myrex’s proposal has sparked serious conversation about who we honor in our public spaces.
