Then they are able to cruise out into the Gulf of Mexico. It's a very time consuming operation and when the lift breaks, no one can get out.
The best answer would be a roadway next to the current road or a tunnel. I believe a bridge going over top the turnpike would be a much more dangerous situation.

Why???? Does it really matter if you fall 40 feet onto a concrete roadway with traffic at 55mph vs. 60 feet with traffic at 75 mph?? Yes, you do get about an extra 0.43 seconds to say good-bye
