MONTGOMERY, Ala. (WDNews) – Governor Kay Ivey on Friday announced more than $3.7 million in state funding is being awarded for 13 local road projects across Alabama as part of the Rebuild Alabama Annual Grant Program.
The projects, which also include more than $2.4 million in matching local funds, mark the final round of funding this year through the program created by the 2019 Rebuild Alabama Act. That law requires the Alabama Department of Transportation (ALDOT) to set aside at least $10 million annually from gas tax revenue for local projects.
“Supporting all Alabama citizens for generations to come has always been my mission,” Ivey said. “Through the Rebuild Alabama Act, we are delivering on that promise to make meaningful investments in local roads and bridges across the state.”
Among the awarded projects:
Union Springs (Bullock County): $250,000 for resurfacing Hardaway Avenue, Levy Avenue and Mimosa Apartment Road.
Valley (Chambers County): $350,000 in state funds plus $1.49 million in local funds for resurfacing CR-379 (Fairfax Bypass).
Cullman (Cullman County): $350,000 for reclamation of Graham Street SW.
Sanford (Covington County): $350,000 in state funds plus $386,295 in local funds to pave Snuffy Road.
Bridgeport (Jackson County): $350,000 for resurfacing 11 city streets.
Eva (Morgan County): $300,000 in state funds plus $50,000 in local funds for resurfacing and pavement repairs.
Since its passage, the Rebuild Alabama Act has funded more than 500 road and bridge projects across all 67 counties, totaling more than $70 million through ALDOT’s Annual Grant Program alone.
