I agree with Dale, no access control is a complete mistake, they should had reserved some additionnal ROW for future service roads to built in a way similar to some Texas freeways.
AL-158 could had been part of the long proposed West Mobile bypass

I don’t like how US 98 is getting rerouted here! Mark it as ALT US 98 or something like that.

I think it’s a mistake to build a bypass with no access control – businesses will eventually relocate to the corridor, creating a sea of private driveways and traffic lights. We have a few examples here in SC – there’s a US 178
“bypass” through Orangeburg, but it now takes just as much time to drive the bypass as the “business” route.
