As part of this round of funding, Woodstock will see 2.63 miles of resurfacing done to Georgia Loop, Candice Lane, Hunter Drive and Gilbert Tommie Road

Ivey's office announced that $250,000 of the $592,450 total cost of the project will be covered by grant funding from Rebuild Alabama. The remaining $342,450 will come from other funding sources.

“I have said it time and again, but Alabama’s roads and bridges needed some work, but we are making substantial progress thanks to Rebuild Alabama. These projects we are announcing today are further proof of why these funds are critical to the well-being of our state,” Ivey said. “Folks in all corners of Alabama and in areas big and small are seeing real results, and that will continue. In my time as governor, we have embarked on more than 1,500 road and bridge projects across almost all 67 counties, worth north of $5 billion. No doubt, Rebuild Alabama is a major contributor to that.”

Ivey then said an additional round of funding for local projects is expected later this year.

To date, the Rebuild Alabama Act has awarded $27 million in funding for local projects across the state since it was passed by the legislature in 2020.
