ALABAMA (WRBL) — Alabama Governor Kay Ivey announced more than $3.7 million in state funding is being awarded to cities and counties for road projects across Alabama, including one in Chambers County.
The grants are a part of funding from the Alabama Department of Transportation's (ALDOT) Annual Grant Program created by the Rebuild Alabama Act. The act requires ALDOT to establish an annual program setting aside a minimum of $10 million off the top of the state's share of gas tax revenue for local projects.
According to a release from the governor's office, a resurfacing project on CR-379 (Fairfax Bypass) from the Lee County Line to Towel Avenue (3.24 miles) will receive $350,000 from the Rebuild Alabama grant and more than $1.4 million in local funding.
All projects are expected to begin within one year of the awarding of the funds.
"Through the Rebuild Alabama Act, we are delivering on that promise to make meaningful investments in local roads and bridges across the state," Gov. Ivey said. "I am proud to say that Alabama is keeping our commitment to safer, stronger and more connected communities."
