Shortly after the apparent cancelation of the $2.1 billion bridge project in Mobile, there has been lots of talk about what projects could be done next.
Thoughts about the feasibility of getting future road projects that can be financed with tolls differ, but the general consensus is that it will not be tried again anytime soon.
Alabama House Speaker Mac McCutcheon (R-Monrovia) appeared on WVNN Monday morning and said there are no plans in place right now.
“Well, I don’t know if you need to say it ‘well that’s over, next’ the next project, because there’s not a list of projects out there that are listed on a page that says ‘these are toll projects,’ no we don’t have nothing like that,” McCutcheon stated on “The Dale Jackson Show.”
The Alabama Department of Transportation may have other plans, but as of right now there doesn’t appear to be any plans for new tolls in the state.
