Why would anyone want a faster way to get to either city.

Again, B’ham gets money that has been set aside for HSV-ATL 3 times. People north of the River are treated like stepchildren. A relative had a friend who was going to find another job. Her relatives told her she would be disowned if she moved to North AL’s Yankeeland. This was within the last 4-5 years. Bless their hearts. .

A real boon for truckers, and anyone just passing through.

While I have stayed in both cities in my travels, I now know that smart travellers stay way out in the suburbs and don't venture near downtown, except in the daylight hours.

It is sad when I feel safer in West Memphis, AR than I do in Memphis proper.

Wow...I am sort of shocked the highway was actually finished...

These union jobs normally are pushed back for eternity...

“I-22 finally connects Birmingham to Memphis”

So, which way is the crime going to flow?

When great herds of buffalo roamed and stampeded over the
countryside (before roads), the herds wore deep paths on
the land in the most sensible routes. Later, when the white
man built highways, the roads that had been created by the
bison hooves were what was used by man for his foundations
for the roads to follow. When you travel over a road, thank
the buffalo for it. Thank God for the buffalo herds; and
thank God for His wisdom in the fact that the great herds
no longer (sadly in a way) stampede across the roads you
are now driving your vehicles upon. - People fuss about the
occasional lone deer they hit with their vehicles; think
how they would be fussing if a huge herd of giants were
stampeding down the interstates now!

78 sucked SO bad.
