  • 1 of 5 – Draft Environmental Impact Statement
    FHWA-AL-EIS-14-01-D DRAFT ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT STATEMENT PROJECT NO. DPI-0030(005) I-10 MOBILE RIVER BRIDGE AND BAYWAY WIDENING MOBILE AND BALDWIN COUNTIES, ALABAMA U.S. DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION FEDERAL HIGHWAY ADMINISTRATION AND ALABAMA DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION July 2014 IN COOPERATION WITH: U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, Mobile District and U.S. Coast Guard, Eighth District EXECUTIVE SUMMARY ES-1 Purpose and Need In the Mobile area, there is a need to increase the capacity of Interstate 10 (I-10) to meet existing and predicted future traffic volumes and to provide a direct route for vehicles transporting hazardous materials, while minimizing impacts to Mobile’s maritime industry. The first need is to increase the capacity of I-10 to meet existing and predicted future traffic volumes. The existing traffic volumes result in on-going traffic flow or congestion problems. The existing (2010) Average Annual Daily Traffic (AADT) crossing the Mobile River is 111,334 vehicles. The level of traffic creates a Level of Service (LOS) of F with delays during peak periods. The predicted AADT for 2030 is 182,445, which would create more congestion and longer delays. A LOS of F represents a traffic condition that produces gridlock under extreme conditions. The second need is for a more direct route for vehicles transporting hazardous materials across the Mobile River. Trucks carrying prohibited hazardous materials must detour off I-10. Currently, they are rerouted through the Mobile Central Business District (CBD), using the Cochrane Africatown Bridge to cross the Mobile River. A direct interstate route would eliminate this situation.

  • Bay City Boom
    Bay City Boom Mobile’s economy takes off while the rest of the country slows to a crawl. From thicketmag.com, By Chip Drago Looking north from his 8th-floor office in the Mobile County Courthouse, Circuit Judge Rick Stout scans Mobile’s downtown business district and, to the east, the state docks, but it is the city’s two tallest buildings that claim his attention – one old, the 34-floor First National Bank Building, as it was originally called, and one new, the 35-floor, 227-meter RSA Battle House Tower. “For seven years, I’ve looked out this window, and now I see the RSA Tower and one, two, three, four, five old buildings being renovated or restored,” says Stout. “I see a new hotel going up. I see more activity in looking out of this window right now than I’ve seen in the past seven years combined.” Sitting squarely in the heart of downtown, heavy and pedestrian, the First National building towered over block after block of decaying buildings. Thirty-five years ago, retail activity fled downtown to the city’s western suburbs. In the 1990s, many Mobilians relocated to the Eastern Shore of Mobile Bay in Spanish Fort, Daphne, and Fairhope, where a commercial and residential boom continues. Throughout the period, city fathers undertook occasional efforts to jolt downtown back to life – public support for the Riverview Hotel and office complex, a plan to restore Fort Conde Village as a commercial and tourist attraction, a waterfront convention center – but none succeeded in jump-starting a revival of the area.
