MONTGOMERY \u2013 Governor Kay Ivey and the Alabama Department of Transportation on Tuesday announced that more than $45 million in funding is being awarded to cities and counties for various road and bridge projects.
\nThe funding is made available through the Alabama Transportation Rehabilitation and Improvement Program-II (ATRIP-II), a program created under the Rebuild Alabama Act. The Rebuild Alabama Act requires ATRIP-II to be an annual program setting aside a minimum of $30 million off the top of ALDOT\u2019s share of new gas tax revenue for projects of local interest on the state highway system.<\/p>\n
The projects were selected by the ATRIP-II Committee created by the Rebuild Alabama Act. It is anticipated that a number of projects will be under contract during the 2021 fiscal year, however all projects are required to move forward within two years of the awarding of funds.<\/p>\n
Scottsboro Mayor Jim McCamy stated, \u201cI want to thank Governor Ivey and the ATRIP-II Committee for selecting Scottsboro as a recipient of this grant. I also want to thank State Senator Steve Livingston and ALDOT Director John Cooper for their guidance and support in this grant process. We applied for this $1.4 million grant in November. This ATRIP-II funding will be combined with a Safety Grant the city received in 2019 to complete a safety upgrade and improvements to the U.S. 72 and County Park Road intersection and extend existing access roads. We plan to start the design phase as soon as possible.\u201d<\/p>\n
