Governor Kay Ivey announced on Friday that more than $3.7 million in state funding is being awarded to Alabama cities and counties for infrastructure projects.
The grants mark the third and final round of funding awarded this year under the Alabama Department of Transportation’s Rebuild Alabama Act Annual Grant Program.
“Supporting all Alabama citizens for generations to come has always [been] my mission. From our students’ education to the state’s infrastructure, Alabama continues to make strides for future generations of Alabamians,” Ivey said in a written statement.
“Through the Rebuild Alabama Act, we are delivering on that promise to make meaningful investments in local roads and bridges across the state. I am proud to say that Alabama is keeping our commitment to safer, stronger and more connected communities,” she continued.
The funds will go toward road resurfacing and improvement projects in Bullock, Chambers, Choctaw, Covington, Crenshaw, Cullman, Elmore, Fayette, Hale, Jackson, Marengo, Morgan and Randolph Counties.
The state funding was matched with more than $2.4 million in local funds, for a total disbursement of nearly $6.2 million.
The Rebuild Alabama Act, which was signed into law in 2019, requires ALDOT to set aside at least $10 million in state gas tax revenue annually to go toward local infrastructure projects.
Ivey’s office said, since the passage of the Rebuild Alabama Act, the grant program has awarded more than $70 million in state transportation funds for local projects.
Projects funded include more than 500 road and bridge projects across all 67 Alabama counties.
Previous program grants announced this year include more than $3.7 million in state funding awarded for local projects in July, as well as $7.6 million in local project grants awarded in April.
These grants were respectively matched with roughly $3.5 million and $5.6 million in local funds.
Total state funding awarded through the program in 2025 amounts to roughly $15.2 million, with a roughly $11.6 million in matching local funding.
“With every round of funding, we’re seeing real improvements along our busiest highways and the local roads Alabamians rely on every day. This is a smart, long-term investment at work, and Alabama is better for it,” Ivey said in July.
All projects are required to move forward within a year of the awarding of funds.
