This is the dumbest fricking thing I have ever seen in my life.

I just got back from that place and there is ZERO traffic

Next, when I watch the local Mobile News on TV in the morning getting ready for work they always show the traffic cams and I laugh because there is no traffic. There's literally a car or two on the interstate.

Look, I get it.. the tunnel gets backed up here and there if there is a wreck but good god.. every city has some sort of traffic rush hour. It's not that fricking bad.

This is by far the dumbest fricking thing I have ever read. Especially, when there are public schools in Mobile that don't even have air conditioning





This fricking bridge is 30 feet smaller than the Golden Gate Bridge!

Never in my life have I seen something this stupid and a total waste of money. Mobile already fricked up building that ugly arse cruise ship building where they dont even ave cruise line an now this?

I think the thing that is more notable to talk about is the beach express from I10 down to OB is opening tomorrow

when the Wallace Tunnel was completed in 1973, the structure had a target optimum operating capacity of 50,000 vehicles per day, and that figure was reached in 1998. By 2004, the figure had increased more than 25 percent, to 63,000. When the last study was completed in 2009, modest projections indicated daily traffic of 75,000 vehicles with spikes to as many as 90,000 on peak travel days


The amount of traffic is only going to increase in the future and the bridge will only get more expensive to build
