In Decatur, We Are Better Together.
A moving train. A working river. A bridge that has carried both for generations.
The Decatur Railroad Bridge has connected our city to the region and the nation for more than a century, surviving war, rebuilding, and continuing to support the industries that power our local economy today.
This is more than a crossing over the Tennessee River. It is a reminder of how Decatur was built and how it continues to move forward.

Roads, rec, and a little less “when is that happening?”
The Decatur City Council meets for a work session today at 5 p.m. in the Council Chambers, with several projects up for discussion that residents will want to watch.
On the list:
- Carrie Matthews Recreation Center renovations: a construction bid is ready for consideration, and the project is moving closer to kicking off.
- Bunny Lane widening, with a $477,114 bid recommended for award.
- Wilson Morgan Park access improvements, including removing the service road between Sandlin Road and Central Parkway, adding turn-lane improvements, and relandscaping the area.
- Traffic signal changes on Fourth Avenue SE, where signals at Grant Street and Johnston Street are proposed to be removed and replaced with stop signs.
Translation: Rec center progress. Road work progress. Safer traffic flow progress.
