Huntsville Residents to Save 30 Minutes Traveling to Train, John Mayer, Shrimp Festival, and Thunder on the Gulf

ORANGE BEACH, AL, August 18, 2010 (Press-News.org) Today, the Beach Express (BEX) toll road at http://www.beachexpress.com, announced that Huntsville, Alabama residents can take approximately 30 minutes off of their commute to upcoming events and concerts at The Wharf.

"As a previous resident of the Huntsville, Alabama area, it often took well over six hours in traffic to get to shopping, restaurants and beach activities in Orange Beach," states Cheryl Quinn, BEX Marketing Manager.

"Now, instead of waiting for 25 traffic lights on Highway 59, Huntsville residents only need to go through three lights using the Beach Express. This not only cuts a full half-hour off the drive, but it also saves times, gas and hassle."
