$40 million has been awarded by the Alabama Department of Economic and Communities Affairs (ADECA) for road and bridge improvement projects throughout the state.
Funding is being administered from the Alabama Transportation Rehabilitation and Improvement Program-II (ATRIP-II), which is annually required by the state to grant a minimum of $30 million from ALDOT’s share of new gas tax revenue for selected road and bridge projects.
“Through the continued, steadfast implementation of the Rebuild Alabama Act, I’m proud to announce the allocation of over $40 million in state transportation funding. This is a substantial investment that underscores our dedication to enhancing roads and bridges statewide,” said Gov. Kay Ivey in an online announcement.
“Alabamians deserve nothing short of excellence in their infrastructure, and Rebuild Alabama is continuing to deliver long-term results that are felt across every stretch of our state.”
Of the 26 projects selected for the latest round, four of them are located in Black Belt communities. They are:
Moundville in Hale County for intersection improvements at SR-69 and Lister Lane - $4,840,677
Pike Road in Montgomery County for SR-126/ SR-8 intersection and at the SR-8/ Marler Road Intersection - $6,293,600
Phenix City in Russell County for intersection improvements at US-280 and US-80 - $3,175,031
