I have made it to the promised land

Twice a week now that I'm close to it...
Best Buffet Sushi in the area right there. Think you got a better buffet sushi place, lemme hear it, I'll try it!
 
Random question as I begin plotting my route to the SCC...
Why the heck hasn't Birmingham connected 78 to the rest of the interstate system?

It is under construction, largest road construction project in state history supposedly. I have the joy of driving through the middle of it every day.
 
Are y'all talking about the new I-22 or highway 78?

Jefferson County was the last county in the state to get interstate built because the county historically voted against Wallace and as punishment he made Jeff Co the last county to receive the interstate.

That has nothing to do with I-22 but is an interesting fact.

Did this Contribute to Jefferson County going bankrupt in the past few years?

I'm talking about the highway between B'ham and Memphis. Seems like its been going on for the last 6+ years. I know it wasn't far from complete when we came back from Colorado on our honeymoon 6 years ago. We shot out of Memphis on I-22 only to find out that it just dead-ended and we had to take neighborhood roads to find our way into B'ham and onto I-20.

Seems like it was a shovel ready project just waiting for someone to finish.;)
 
It's been that way for decades. Alabama decided that Memphis didn't really have anything they wanted.

it takes alabama for ever to do road construction.
I thought it was normal until I started dating Kait. I watched Tennessee build a rest area and Kentucky build an overpass. Start to finish in less than 2 years.
It takes an alabama road crew two years to scratch their ass.
 
And I thought GA road crews were slow. Took them 18 months to widen the S. Atlanta Rd bridge over the Chattahoochee only to add dedicated bike lanes and a sidewalk (for what is, by no means, a pedestrian/cyclist laden highway).

Gonna have to sell a lot of "Bicycle Tags" to pay for that project.
