I-10 bridge meeting set Monday
The Propeller Club of Mobile will hold a special meeting at 6:30 p.m. Monday at the International Trade Club downtown to discuss various routes under consideration for a new I-10 bridge over Mobile River.
Organizers bill the session as "critical to the Mobile maritime community and others."
Transportation officials are nearing a decision on a route for the multi-million dollar bridge to relieve traffic congestion on I-10 caused by a bottleneck at the Wallace Tunnel in downtown Mobile. Eleven of the originally 14 proposed routes have been eliminated, leaving three alternate routes all crossing mid-river. Various interests -- maritime, downtown redevelopment, cruise terminal and historic preservationists -- all have expressed reservations about the bridge's location.
The meeting is open to the public. Admission is free. Seating is limited. Reservations are recommended. Call 438-5240. The trade center is located at 250 North Water St.
