Some bullshite..The traffic is bad already!
Instead of using the BP money or any money from Katrina. Alabama would rather fund a football team.

Now we have to pay a toll to cross the mobile river. The toll is for the new bridge to be built. It will be taller than a Golden Gate and twice as Huey p long.

a bridge and a tunnel are two completely different things



Tolls are user pays, conservatives should embrace

I-10 needs to be 6 lanes minimum from Baton Rouge to the other side of P-Cola.

There is Probably 5 Million people that live within the I 10 corridor

So.. my understanding was that interstate tolls were not allowed under federal law unless either: a) the tolls already existed prior to the interstate system, or b) the tolls are on NEW infrastructure (not to include widening projects or improvements).

I’m trying to figure out how Mobile is skirting this, and it appears they are re-routing I-10 to cross the new bridge (which would be eligible for tolls). I guess that they can then ALSO add tolls to the existing tunnel because it’s no longer part of I-10?

Am I misunderstanding this? That seems kinda sketch.

Once they build the new Bridge and the Bayway They will probably use the tunnel as Offshore fishing reef.

So you clearly didn’t read the article you linked. They are building a new bridge that is bigger and will make traveling a lot easier and quicker. There will be no toll booths just electronic scanners. Most people won’t use the tunnel but rather the new bridge but to keep people from skipping tolls they are gonna put it in the tunnel as well

I thought they couldn't put tolls on federal interstate highways? Maybe I am off base?

I seem to remember a chunk of I-35 in Kansas is tolled.

People who use it pay for it sounds good.

Of course, money is fungible and all governments lie
