I was told that the tunnel will remain open so they can order a non toll option to allow “free” interstate travel

We will be in flying cars before Alabama completes a road project that size. I live right in the middle of the I65 permanent construction zone south of Birmingham


It has taken over 3 years for an overpass over a single road in north Huntsville on 231/431.

The Alabama Department of Transportation (ALDOT) told 1819 News the tolls will be set to encourage the use of the ALGO pass.


Initially, the ALGO pass will cost $60 per month or $3 per crossing. Vehicles with an out-of-state transponder would pay $7.70 per crossing. Vehicles with no transponder would be billed $15.40 per crossing but would be given the option to open an ALGO pass account to get the lower rate.

The tolls will automatically increase every year for the first 10 years after tolling begins, according to FOX10 News. The toll will increase by 5% or by the inflation rate for Southern urban consumers, whichever is higher.

I did not know that. If you are coming from Arkansas and taking US98 or US45, use the bridge through Africatown. It is actually physically shorter and there is a new bypass from 98 around the north side of town (mostly).

I never go to Mobile at peak times so I am unfamiliar with the various loads.

Rates slowly increase. People billed who didn't know. Rates start to piss off voters. Years down the road State buys out greedy toll takers looking for votes.
