I still don't see how this will help traffic. It'll just stack up further down the interstate. Maybe I'm just ignorant.

Wasn’t there supposed to NOT be a toll?
Well if I recall… both sides (Baldwin & Mobile Counties) fought the toll and won… Gov Meemaw said ok, but the second she was voted back in, she killed it, sold us out and applied the toll. I THINK that’s right, it’s been going on so long that it gets fuzzy.
EDIT: See the link from hellifiknow… it details some frickery.

Five years…LOL… highly doubt it.
Easily achievable. Suspension bridges are much easier to build. The Golden Gate Bridge was built in only four years in the 1930s. The planning is what takes a long time. Sometimes decades. This isn’t a little bridge across da bayou.

I hear ya. They’re gonna bilk us one way or the other… So long as the causeway stays open, I’m good.

Probably will be completed before the Lake Charles i10 bridge.

GOOD GRIEF! $60.00 per month the first 10 years and then it escalates? I will go out of my way to avoid it. I will use the causeway or the Dauphin Island Ferry. It’s a matter of principle.
I will NEVER use that toll bridge.

Dauphin Island Ferry
Now that is a stretch. The ferry is nice, but if you think the toll on bridge will be high, the ferry is obscene.
15 dollars for your car and 6 dollars per person.
So 21 dollars if alone, 27 for 2, and 39 for a family of 4.
Only saving grace for the ferry is that it is a nice ride almost like an amusement park attraction. You can get out your car and go water watching for the 40-50 minutes it takes to cross. So it can be about the same as waiting to push through the tunnel and bayway traffic.

I will keep using the tunnel.

You are. The Bayway backs up from the idiots that made it a near 90degree enter/exit. One car slows to 30mph in summertime and the whole bayway is screwed.

Well, we laid a strip for the Eastern shore
And prepared to cross the line
I could see the bridge was lined with bears
But I didn't have a dog-goned dime
I says, "Pig Pen, this here's the Rubber Duck
We just ain't a-gonna pay no toll"
So we crashed the gate doing ninety-eight
I says "Let them truckers roll, 10-4"

the new bridge will be designed for six lane traffic. Three lanes on each side.
If that isn't enough then remember they aren't shutting down the Wallace tunnel and of course not the Bankhead tunnel either.

I thought the original proposal was that mobile and baldwin county residents would have a reduced toll of $1. Everybody else $3+
But that was voted down by residents
Now they get the full $3 toll shoved up their butts

Yeah and the problem with tunnel was the sharp turn at west entrance. That caused people to slow down to 30-40 and screw up traffic even when traffic not that heavy.
