A truck approaches the Interstate 10 interchange at U.S. 98 in Daphne, Ala., on Thursday, March 25, 2021. State and local officials are considering the construction of a truck-only bridge over the Mobile River that will be financed through 0 to 5 tolls on large trucks.

Burrell is chairman of the Eastern Shore MPO. Stimpson is chairman of the Mobile MPO. The MPOs oversee funding for regional road projects.
Plans to build the new bridge and expand the Bayway was called off in 2019 when the Eastern Shore Metropolitan Planning Organization removed the project from its Transportation Improvement Plan. The removal made the $2.1-billion project ineligible for federal funding. After the vote, Ivey said the move by the MPO killed the bridge project. ....
