Congressman Robert Aderholt, AL-04, on Tuesday highlighted continued progress on the City of Red Bay’s lighting improvement project after the Alabama Department of Transportation awarded the construction contract for the installation of roadway lighting from the Bear Creek Bridge to the 9th Street West/Water Plant intersection.
The project is being funded through federal Community Project Funding secured by the congressman specifically for Red Bay as part of his efforts to improve infrastructure and public safety across Alabama’s Fourth Congressional District.
“This project will directly improve public safety and infrastructure in Red Bay by providing much needed lighting to areas of concern for residents and drivers,” said Aderholt. “I was glad to help secure and support funding for this project because nighttime lighting increases visibility, strengthens community confidence, and reduces opportunities for criminal activity.”
“I have long believed that our rural communities deserve the same top-notch access to infrastructure and safety improvements, and these funds are a real step toward that goal.”
The contract for the construction of the lighting project was awarded to Big River Electric, Inc in Killen, Ala.
