The bridge is close to Goose Pond Park in Clanton; in fact, I parked by the park entrance and walked to the benchmark. As can be seen in the photo, it is on the top of the concrete bridge support, at one end of the bridge. Someone painted a white circle around the mark, making it that much easier to spot. There is also a witness post by the disk.
