Even if growth rates in Huntsville were to continue, it would be a while before that's justifiable... particularly with the amount of work on the ALDOT's plate right now. |
I'm sure IF the I-85 extension ever get done, it would be before the HSV-ATL connection simply because it's not on the table yet..... it's almost as long as death row
