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

Online, August 16, 2010 (Newswire.com) - Orange Beach, AL - Today, the Beach Express (BEX) toll road at 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.
