Those awards are from the final round of funding made available for 2025 via an Annual Grant Program created by the Rebuild Alabama Act and overseen by the Alabama Department of Transportation (ALDOT).
Passed in 2019, the Rebuild Alabama 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.
Since the passage of the Rebuild Alabama Act six years ago, ALDOT’s Annual Grant Program, alone, has awarded more than $70 million in state transportation funding for local projects. More than 500 road and bridge projects across all 67 counties have been made possible by that legislative measure, the agency noted.
“Supporting all Alabama citizens for generations to come has always my mission,” Gov. Ivey said in a statement.
“From our students’ education to the state’s infrastructure, Alabama continues to make strides for future generations of Alabamians,” she added. “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.”
Cities and counties also contributed more than $2.4 million in local matching funds to the projects receiving grants from ALDOT and all of those projects are required to move forward within one year of receiving Rebuild Alabama funds, the agency added.
