Africatown bridge is where it’s at.

As a teenager between college and the Navy I worked as an ironworker on that bridge, hence I don't drive over it.

You could have taken the scenic route. Take the Bayou L’batre exit and head down to Dauphin Island. Pay a king’s ransom of 15 dollars for your automobile to cross plus 6 dollars a person. Enjoy the 45 minute to an hour long ferry ride across the bay to Fort Morgan and end up in Pensacola where you can eventually meet back up with I-10 or take US 98 to eventually get to Destin.

Last time we drove through the tunnel, some a-hole was constantly blowing their horn. Didn’t know this was a thing….

I thought they were honking at someone…


Proudly honking for 24 years

Speaking of newbies, if you don’t know the way around the tunnel then you’re the newbie

Been through that tunnel too many times to count as a kid and adult.

I honk every time.

Someone (or multiple people) always honks back.

Never gets old.

That one minute ride through the tunnel on a three hour drive is what you are complaining about. Maybe you need to give up driving, put on some noise cancelling headphones and hop in the back seat.

You guys need to preplan. Leave BR at 10pm, hit Buckees at 1am, then Destin at 3am. No traffic, no crowd, no horns in the tunnel, and Waffle House there to welcome you.

You have to hold your breath in the tunnel. The person who can hold it all the way thru wins.

That’s the tradition of the Mobile Tunnel

Turn around and drive west to Houston, that drive is 10x worse.
