3. The project got overinflated for 2 main reasons. A. The DOT claimed the existing bayway had to be torn down and built 10 feet higher due to federal regulations (this was determined to be a lie and was only a suggestion by a 3rd party who advises the govt) B. The bridge was to be built 215 ft high. Which was way higher than the port authority said it needed to be. They came to that number from the cruise ship commission. 215 feet is the height necessary for the LARGEST CRUISE SHIP IN THE WORLD. (Which is absurd since Mobile can barely hang on to that shitty carnival fantasy boat)
This is my earlier post and why this project jumped from 1b to 2b. Completely unnecessary. Everyone I know was fine with them tolling the NEW bridge. But they got greedy and decided to toll the EXISTING AND PAID FOR WALLACE TUNNEL.

No way the 7 miles of bayway widening and 8 lane river bridge...even at a lower height would be $1B.
