GOOD NEWS : Routes to all of Alabama's beaches are now toll-free, which can lead to increased economic activity and improved traffic flow. Eliminating the toll reduces the financial burden on employees who commute to and from work, which is especially helpful during inflation. Congestion and travel times will hopefully improve as well since vehicles do not have to slow down or stop at toll booths. Furthermore, the toll-free bridge will make the Gulf Coast more accessible to residents from rural areas in south Alabama and neighboring states, thus linking communities and improving regional connectivity - just in time for summer. #Our67
