Summary

Description
English: The west end of the 7-mile, twin slab, I-10 bridge ends here at this east entrance into Bankhead Tunnel. Converging at this same point is the old U.S. 98 "Causeway" that rose barely above water level. Sometime in the not so distant past, this entrance was given a face lift and the pretty landscaping. Until the twin tube, I-10 tunnel was operational, motorists had to pay 25 cents to pass through the tunnel. I think an extra 10 cents was added per axle. The money was used for maintenance of the tunnel.

This image has been modified. The afternoon it was taken was very dark and overcast, so I "warmed" the scene a little. Also, spots on the inside wall, "repaired" some paint problems on the facade, cleaned spots off the pavement, added grass in the foreground where it was bare and removed a couple other obstructions. I was very limited as to where I could stand, get a nice perspective and not have the name over the entrance obstructed. Other than this bit of "maintenance," this image is quite true to what is there.
