New road improvement projects announced across Alabama
A new round of road improvement projects has been announced through the Alabama Transportation Rehabilitation and Improvement Program (ATRIP-II).
The project funds road projects of local interest, proposed by one or more local governments, related to the state-maintained highway system.
Governor Kay Ivey announced Thursday that more than $40 million in state transportation funding is being awarded to cities and counties for various road and bridge projects.
Of the 24 projects selected, 13 were from cities and counties putting forward more than $16 million in local funds.
The Rebuild Alabama Act requires ATRIP-II to set aside at least $30 million from the Alabama Department of Transporation’s share of new gas tax revenue for projects of local interest on the state highway system.
Among the projects for this year include improvements to U.S. Highway 80 at Wares Ferry Road in Montgomery County and roadway improvements on the Downtown Courthouse Square in Pike County.
