I don't like it and think it's a terrible idea. In review some of the previous rendering I think the proportions are entirely wrong of the proposed overpass. It appears that in the renderings the overpass couldn't be nearly as wide as they say it will be. I'm not entirely familiar with ALDOT requirements but think about how wide a 4-lane road profile is with the appropriate shoulder widths.

The 280 overpass is really an attempt to out-build traffic which has been proven time and time again all around the country cannot be done.
