  • 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.

Austal USA hosted a ceremony at the company’s shipyard on Friday 26th March 2021, to mark the start of construction of a new steel shipbuilding facility that will provide the capability to meet increasing demand by the U.S. Navy and U.S. Coast Guard for steel vessels.

  • ONE CHILD at a TIME Spring/Summer 2021 Agency Partner Spotlight: Assistant District Attorney
    Heart Lines Volume 19, Issue 2 HELPING TO CHANGE THE WORLD ONE CHILD AT A TIME Spring/Summer 2021 Agency Partner Spotlight: Assistant District Attorney A professional benchmark of mine was being chosen as the next Child Advocacy Assistant District Attorney in June of 2020– something when I decided to pursue prosecution as a career I always wanted to do. It is humbling to keep the trust of the community in such a position, and one that I strive to earn daily. My passion is to seek justice for children, those innocent victims who have suffered trauma before truly beginning to live. Fighting for these victims and seeing things through to the end, gives me a strong sense of purpose and keeps me motivated. Abuse cases can be some of the most difficult cases to prosecute. To prosecute these effectively requires long hours, thorough investigations, and a multidisciplinary approach through partnerships with others. Partnership is what the Child Advocacy Center is all about. The team of specialists who work at the CAC are highly trained in dealing with children of abuse. Law enforcement, counselors, DHR, social workers, and pediatric specialists work in tandem to conduct joint investigations. We understand that children typically do not disclose information immediately. It takes them time to adjust. Everything is centralized through the center so that victims can meet the entire team at one facility. This allows them to gain trust and to feel safe in their environment. Their comfort is our number one concern. I absolutely love my team at the Child Advocacy Center.
