Coming back home from Florida vacation to our great state of Louisiana on Friday. The drive here sucked going through Mobile. Any viable (faster) routes to take? TIA

Take the Ferry at the Mouth of Mobile Bay, drive to Dauphin Island, get in line and kick back.

True OTers can find a diversion whilst waiting.

Take the truckers route on highway 90.

You're welcome.

Nice.

Someone told me to get on the Battleship parkway bridge. I haven't tried that out.

It's your last day of vacation so it is already ruined by the drive. Get up early and go. You will be thankful you are home in time to mow the grass.

Did you try holding your breath in the tunnel?

Seriously though, I've always hated the stretch of I-10 from Theodore to MS state line and from West Harrison County to the Honey Island Swamp.

Got a young kid and a baby that aren't super easy to travel with. Mobile tunnel has taken me up to an extra 45 minutes to get through. Not a huge deal...but wouldn't mind knowing if better options exist. Sounds like they don't.

Yep, did this coming home from Ft. Walton 2 weeks ago. Saved me 45 minutes of sitting in traffic.
