The City of Marion received $1,082,584.20 from the state as part of a $40 million funding effort to improve roads and bridges across Alabama.
Gov. Kay Ivey announced online that the funding was made available through the Alabama Transportation Rehabilitation and Improvement Program-II or ATRIP-II.
“While our work is far from over, we have made significant progress in improving our roads and bridges thanks to Rebuild Alabama," Ivey said in her announcement.
"During my state of the state address, I shared that on top of local improvements, the state has administered projects in almost all 67 counties, and I am thrilled to be announcing additional awards today. I look forward to continue putting every single penny of these funds to good use for the people of Alabama.”
According to this PDF the project in Marion will resurface SR-14 from Pickens Street to SR-5 to convert from four lanes to three lanes and add a center left turn lane and bike lanes.
The project will also resurface Pickens Street and SR-14 around Perry County Courthouse and will include ADA compliance improvements.
