More than $7.6 million in state funding has been allocated by the Alabama Department of Economic and Community Affairs for 26 road and bridge projects in the state, including multiple in the Black Belt.
“Alabama is on the move, and through Rebuild Alabama, we’re laying the foundation for a stronger, safer future,” said Gov. Kay Ivey in an announcement.
“Thanks to our sustained investment, a recent national study ranked Alabama as having the second-best roads in the country. From resurfacing rural routes in Lamar to widening major highways in Cullman, we’re not just paving roads, we’re paving the way for opportunity.”
Counties included in the round of funds include Choctaw, Macon, Montgomery, Sumter and Wilcox.
