Plan for bridge over Gulf State Park draws environmental concerns | al.com The bridge, dubbed the Cross Island Parkway by some, would start at Ala. 182, or Perdido Beach Boulevard, behind a power substation near Tipseas Restaurant. The bridge would then travel over the park’s wildlife area and part of a lake, and drop motorists onto Canal Road at the entrance to the Foley Beach Express.


What this map, provided by the city of Orange Beach, does not show is that there is an existing road just to the east of the edge of the map. That road already connects the beach road with the canal road and the Foley Beach Express.
