I agree Dave!
Just about EVERY bridge in coastal Alabama could (SHOULD) look something like that!!!

Man wouldn't that be nice to have something like that under bridge with lights

That would be nice. I would settle for having some potholes filled at the wall and the fence taken down.

No doubt. Florida has many, Texas and Louisiana have a few as well. To heck with rebuilding the seawall, rip-rap was invented for such situations.Give me the estimated $7.4 million and I'd have money left over to put in a pay booth, as well as for you, a few dozen more good folk and every fisherman in my family to fish on my dime, for a long long time.

Thanks Pier# for the info on the project. I have been trying for three years to pin someone down in State government on this project and get nothing but evasion. This will be great news for all handicapped fishermen and women. This was the only place I could get my brother-in-law to for salt water fishing access for the last year before he died. I am now myself limited in mobility to some degree and will also be looking forward to regaining this fishing access spot. Over the years I have caught many fish from that area.

Hmm, say yer prayers that this goes thru folks!
This note from the ALDOT Director sounds like this is far from ' a done deal.'

David, sorry but ALDOT is not tied in to the “Gulf Spill restoration” process.
I am meeting with an Orange Beach representative tomorrow and will ask about it.

Typical governmental snafu.
