Governor Kay Ivey and the Alabama Department of Transportation on Wednesday announced more than $40 million in state transportation funding for cities and counties to repair roads and bridges.
The announcement follows Ivey’s State of the State address last week, when she highlighted progress under Rebuild Alabama.
“Since 2019, Alabama has 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.
The money comes from the Alabama Transportation Rehabilitation and Improvement Program-II, created by the Rebuild Alabama Act. The law reserves at least $30 million of ALDOT’s share of new gas-tax revenue each year for locally important projects on the state highway system.
Ivey has awarded $40 million in ATRIP-II grants to local governments every year for the past five years, exceeding the $30 million minimum.
Twenty-five projects will share just over $40 million; 20 of them include more than $11 million in local funds. Local governments are not required to provide matching money. Since 2019 the state has awarded more than $260 million through ATRIP-II.
“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.
The ATRIP-II Committee, created by the Rebuild Alabama Act, selected the projects. Work on many of them is expected to begin during the 2026 fiscal year, and all projects must start within two years of receiving funds.
