MONTGOMERY, Ala. (WDNews) —
Gov. Kay Ivey and the Alabama Department of Transportation on Wednesday announced in a press release that more than $40 million in state transportation funding for road and bridge projects across Alabama.
The funding is part of the Alabama Transportation Rehabilitation and Improvement Program II, known as ATRIP-II, which was created under the Rebuild Alabama Act. The announcement follows Ivey’s State of the State address highlighting the program’s progress.
“Since 2019, Alabama generated more than $2 billion, paving the way for 500 vital road and bridge projects in all 67 counties. None of these projects would have happened without the passage of Rebuild Alabama,” Ivey said during the address.
ATRIP-II requires at least $30 million each year from ALDOT’s share of new gas tax revenue to be set aside for locally driven projects on the state highway system. For the fifth consecutive year, Ivey approved $40 million in grants, exceeding the minimum required by law.
State officials said 25 projects were selected statewide. Of those, 20 include local funding contributions, though matching funds are not required to qualify. Since the program began in 2019, ATRIP-II has awarded more than $260 million in state transportation funding.
Several projects in the Wiregrass region were included in the latest round of awards.
In Coffee County, the City of Enterprise will receive a $2 million ATRIP-II award for traffic signal upgrades at various intersections along U.S. 84. The city will contribute $200,000 in local funds, bringing the total project cost to $2.2 million.
In Dale County, the City of Midland City was awarded $1.506 million in ATRIP-II funding for intersection and traffic signal improvements at State Route 53 (U.S. 231) and Mance Newton Road (State Route 10). Local funds of $141,386 will bring the total project cost to $1,647,386.
In Geneva County, the City of Samson will receive a $1.4 million ATRIP-II award for signal upgrades along State Route 52. The project includes vehicle detection systems and pedestrian push-buttons. No local matching funds are required, making the total project cost $1.4 million.
“Rebuild Alabama continues making generational transportation improvements a reality. I am proud to award funds toward these 25 projects. Our success with Rebuild Alabama will only continue,” Ivey said.
Projects were selected by the ATRIP-II Committee established by the Rebuild Alabama Act. Several projects are expected to move into contract during the 2026 fiscal year. All awarded projects must move forward within two years of receiving funds.
More information about the ATRIP-II program is available through ALDOT.
