Coosa River Express

The Coosa River Express will be a toll bridge developed, owned and operated by Tim James, Inc. The bridge will connect U.S. Highway 280 in Sylacauga, Alabama, to Interstate 65 in Calera, Alabama, driving growth in Shelby and Talladega counties and improving the quality of life for Alabamians by connecting communities, increasing access, reducing commute times and enhancing safety for thousands of drivers each day. The Coosa River Express is supported by new roadways and bridge development as well as improvements to existing roadways.

Tim James, Inc. received its first of two required licenses to build the Coosa River Express from the Talladega County Commission on January 13, 2020.

Foley Beach ExpresS

The Foley Beach Express serves as an alternate route for the heavily traveled State Route 59 in Baldwin County, Alabama connecting Interstate 10 to Alabama Beaches. The Express was Tim James, Sr.’s first toll bridge development project, and was created to serve as a more efficient route to Orange Beach that allows drivers to bypass the congestion around the City of Foley.

The project included a toll bridge over the intracoastal waterway, toll plaza and related facilities, and construction of 7 miles of new four lane highway that was dedicated to Baldwin County as a public highway. The project was entirely privately funded without one penny of taxpayer dollars being spent.

The Foley Beach Express was a success, and the James/McInnis Group sold the company in 2006. Tim James learned the business on this project and served as Managing Partner during land acquisition, design, permitting, financing, construction and operations.
