re: Why urban freeway expansion is futile

Mobile has the same problems but the state is wasting federal money on worthless projects (northern beltline in Birmingham) instead of protecting the states biggest tourism. There's a partially complete 98 bypass just north of the current 98 that the state won't finish (you can see it bright as day on google earth). The I-10 tunnel needs to be bypassed with a wider, higher speed bridge and the bayway needs to be widened. Baldwin county accounts for a huge part of the states tourism and gets treated like a stepchild because of Birmingham and Montgomery.
