Baldwin leaders push to extend I-10 widening to Buc-ee’s

Baldwin County leaders are advocating to extend the widening of I-10 all the way to the Baldwin Beach Express, aiming to improve traffic flow and boost local businesses. Despite their push, the state's current $3.2 billion bridge and Bayway project doesn't include funds for this extension. This initiative is crucial for enhancing regional connectivity and could potentially attract more visitors to the area, especially with the popular Buc-ee’s convenience store drawing in tourists. The lack of funding highlights the ongoing challenges in balancing infrastructure projects with limited state budgets.
