ATTALLA– Attalla road improvements will receive $350,000 in state funding to resurface Circle Drive and New High School Street.

Gov. Kay Ivey announced the award Wednesday, Sept. 30, as part of Alabama’s latest road grants. In addition, the city will contribute $277,000, bringing the project’s total cost to $627,000.

According to the official project list, the work covers Circle Drive from Meadow Street to its dead end. It also includes New High School Street from Main Street to Old Highway 20. Together, the two sections span 0.71 miles.

Marshall and Jackson Counties Also Receive Funding

Meanwhile, Marshall County will receive $350,000 to resurface 2.2 miles of Murphy Hill Road, also known as County Road 41. The work also runs from South Sauty Road to Mt. Moriah Road.

Local funds will add $105,377, bringing that project’s total to $455,377.

In addition, Jackson County will receive $344,819.90 for full-depth reclamation on County Road 18. The work covers 1.25 miles from Alabama Highway 40 to County Road 124.

Jackson County will also provide $94,819.89 in local funds. The project’s total cost is $439,639.79.

Earlier this year, Etowah County secured a separate $350,000 grant to replace the Whorton Bend Road bridge.

Final Grant Round Brings Statewide Total to $15 Million

The latest awards provide more than $3.8 million for 13 projects statewide. Local governments will also contribute more than $1.3 million toward those projects.

After two earlier rounds awarded more than $11 million, this final round brings fiscal 2026 funding to $15 million. The program also requires all projects to move forward within one year of the funding award.

The Alabama Department of Transportation administers the Annual Grant Program, which the 2019 Rebuild Alabama Act created. Under the law, ALDOT must reserve at least $10 million annually from the state’s share of gas-tax revenue.

However, ALDOT currently funds the program at $15 million a year. Since the act’s passage, the program has awarded more than $85.7 million for local transportation projects.
