History

Prior to the 1957 renumbering, SR-143 was numbered State Route 45; it was renumbered because of U.S. Highway 45.[2][3]

Prior to the construction of I-65, SR-143 crossed the Alabama River on the Tyler-Goodwyn Bridge and entered Montgomery on Parallel St. The bridge, scene of the murder of Willie Edwards, was subsequently removed.[4]
