History
Prior to the 1957 renumbering, SR 143 was numbered State Route 45; it was renumbered because of US 45.
Prior to the construction of I-65, SR 143 crossed the Alabama River on the Tyler–Goodwyn Bridge and entered Montgomery on Parallel Street. The bridge, scene of the murder of Willie Edwards, was subsequently removed.{{cite web|url=http://www.aaroads.com/guide.php?page=i0065ndal|title=Alabama @ AARoads - Interstate 65 Northbound - Lowndes, Montgomery & Elmore Counties|publisher=}}
