In reply to RGV AG
I read where, if all things are approved, construction could begin as early as..........2029!
Crosses one of only 6 hyper saline bay systems in the world, close to, maybe intrudes on, ocelot country, the RGV is a major flyway for migrating birds, turtle grass in the LLM, etc. I do wonder if the LNG project moving forward in spite of the environmentalist protestations will galvanize that group to push back harder on the bridge project. Environmental clearance was granted before so there is history there that should help move it forward.RGV AG said:
I always think about the early 90's fanciful American General grandiose development up near the east cut when I ponder the 2nd causeway to the Island. That was such a buoyed deal and drew lots of attention that it seemed like a sure thing to happen. With hovercraft and all.
But when the rubber remotely attempted to even start thinking about meeting the road the galvanization of opposition to it was incredible. Years of planning (well really scheming) got blown up quick.
There has never been, that I know of, a true exact/precise location given for where the 2nd causeway would exit land on land bay side and then make entry onto the bay land side of the Island. I have always figured that when that happens there will be some opposition. It seems the Holly Beach deal is a "general" location, but not quite precisely if you look at the map released.
One of the releases I read about it said that it was "the most environmentally challenging project in the US". That raised my eyebrows.

People think I'm an idiot or something, because all I do is cut lawns for a living.
