Gov and Governor. Democrats have controlled the state legislature for 150 years and have strong control over Florence - funny it's taken this long to propose a new road.

There is no plan to extend it to Atlanta.) Northwest Alabama is still left out of that loop entirely Corridor X (Future I-22) will follow the existing Highway 78 through Mississippi to Jasper (where it will connect to I-65.

And isn't corridor X already in the works to link Atlanta and Memphis? Doesn't that go through northwest Alabama?
