From the West Alabama Newsroom–

The next phase of riverfront development is set to get underway in Selma in the coming weeks.

Mayor George Evans says during phase one of the project — an observation deck overlooking the Alabama River will be installed near the old Bridge Tenders House on Washington Street.

He says phase one also includes a walking pier along the banks of the river that connects to Riverfront Park.

“Its going to be a beautiful park,” said Evans. “Its going to be a River Walk like you have in San Antonio eventually. Something like that will be real eye-catching when you come to Selma for the view that its going to have of the river.”

Evans says the project should get underway within the next 60 days.
