The chairs of the Eastern Shore and Mobile Metropolitan Planning Organizations today announced a plan for a new Mobile River Bridge and Bayway Project, which was prepared for the MPOs by the Alabama Department of Transportation.
According to a news release, the plan meets the framework laid out by the MPOs in December 2021, including the following:
• An unlimited use option for $40 per month, which is under $1 per trip for daily commuters between Mobile and Baldwin Counties • All infrastructure to be owned and operated by the State of Alabama, with no private concessionaire “This is a great day for Baldwin County,” said Eastern Shore MPO Chair and Fairhope City Councilmember Jack Burrell. “Baldwin County is the fastest growing county in Alabama, and this plan addresses some of our most important needs. I’m thrilled that this plan creates an option for commuters to Mobile to cross on a new bridge for under $1 each way. We will continue to work toward new federal funding to lower costs on Alabama taxpayers and drivers as this project moves forward.
