This comes only a few months after a similar incident occurred at the exact same location in April, resulting not just in traffic impacts, but a horrifying combination of foul smells and slick pavement.

The Tuscaloosa Police Department said the inside and middle lanes of the bridge are now blocked as cleanup efforts begin.

"Our thoughts are with the ALDOT workers handling clean-up," TPD said in a Facebook post on Monday. "Try using one of the other bridges if you plan to drive south from the Northport side anytime soon. We’ll update once the road is cleared."

This is a developing story. Tuscaloosa Patch will have more information as it comes available.
