Alabama truckers question constitutionality of I-10 toll bridge

Alabama truckers question constitutionality of I-10 toll bridge AL.com 3 days ago John Sharp, al.com © John Sharp A truck approaches the Interstate 10 interchange at U.S. 98 in Daphne, Ala., on Thursday, March 25, 2021. State and local officials are considering the construction of a truck-only bridge over the Mobile River that will be financed through 0 to 5 tolls on large trucks. A truck-only toll would do little to relive congestion through the Wallace Tunnel and could be unconstitutional, according to a letter from the state’s trucking association. The Alabama Trucking Association filed the letter ahead of two key meetings that will determine if a proposed $725 million truck-only bridge over the Mobile River should be included in the transportation plans for Mobile and Baldwin counties.

MPO wants Mobile River bridge options considered

By Guy Busby FAIRHOPE – Baldwin and Mobile officials plan to ask Gov. Kay Ivey and the Alabama Department of Transportation to look at options to get the Interstate 10 Mobile River bridge project back on track. Fairhope City Council President Jack Burrell told Eastern Shore Metropolitan Planning Organization members Wednesday, Jan. 27, that he had asked Mobile Mayor Sandy Stimpson to send a joint letter from the two MPOs asking state officials to resume plans for the project. Burrell is chairman of the Eastern Shore MPO. Stimpson is chairman of the Mobile MPO. The MPOs oversee funding for regional road projects. Plans to build the new bridge and expand the Bayway was called off in 2019 when the Eastern Shore Metropolitan Planning Organization removed the project from its Transportation Improvement Plan. The removal made the $2.1-billion project ineligible for federal funding. After the vote, Ivey said the move by the MPO killed the bridge project.
