Cable Stayed Bridge for I-10 over Mobile River in Mobile, Al to Relieve the George C. Wallace Tunnel

Tunnel: (Archived Bridge Hunter; Bridge Hunter; Satellite) 

Bridge: (It is in the planning stage.)

The tunnel is congested, so the plan is to build a 6-lane bridge and double the Bayway to an 8-lane highway at an elevation above the 100 year storm. [wkrg]

I'm not sure if the bridge replaces or augments the tunnels. (Update: it will replace the tunnels. [Archived Bridge Hunter])

Of note, it will be the second tallest bridge over water in the US, and it will probably cost close to $2 billion. Cochran Bridge is a cable-stayed bridge that is already in the area.
