“I am thrilled that we were awarded this ATRIP grant from Governor Ivey and ALDOT. It has been one of my top goals as a Ward 5 Councilor to provide a safer passage for vehicles and pedestrians on Highway 31, particularly at Ventura Avenue and the Huntington/Poinciana/Lancaster corridor. Thank you to Governor Ivey, ALDOT, Mayor Patrick McClusky and Homewood City Engineer Cale Smith for believing in this project!”

Jennifer Andress, Homewood City Councillor

The state of Alabama has now awarded more than $180 million in state transportation funds under ATRIP-II since the program’s creation in 2019.

The projects were selected by the ATRIP-II Committee created by the Rebuild Alabama Act, Governor Ivey’s signature legislation.
