TD thread from February
Article

Project officials told FOX10 News that the plan will include tolls on both the new bridge and the existing Wallace Tunnel. That means the only free routes across the Mobile River will be the Cochrane Bridge or the Bankhead Tunnel.

Correct. They were going to make it impossible to take I-10 and not pay $6/trip.
To most of us on here, $12/day isn’t the end of the world, but think about college students commuting to Univ. of South Alabama or hourly workers commuting to work. It would have created a big divide between the two communities.
One more example of how f’ed up this deal was, the LOSING bidders got $2 million in compensation for not winning the project.
Losing bidders on I-10 project will get up to $2 million in reimbursements
