Quote from: The Ghostbuster on Today at 02:03:52 PMSince there already is an AL 161 between AL 182 and AL 180 in Orange Beach, I assume the Foley Beach Express and the Baldwin Beach Express will simply become an extension of AL 161.

I'm not going to applaud ODOT for taking action to remedy a problem after a horrible disaster happens (like what happened on I-40 at Webbers Falls).
Now that ODOT knows it is possible for a barge to strike the US-59 bridge maybe they'll do something about it.
They could charge a toll for any barge that strikes their new US-59 dolphins, then it would be an easier sell for the legislature. Just put some pinball bumper detection technology to know when it's hit and make it Plate Pay to the tow company after it takes a snap of the name of the towboat.
Quote from: Roadgeekteen on Today at 12:06:03 PMWhat roads/bridges have you been on that no longer exist due to a disaster/collapse? For me, the only one I can think of is I-95 in Philly before the collapse. I've never been on the Francis Scott Key Bridge, but I'm sure many have.
