Five road projects in Alabama are getting $97.3 million in federal transportation grants to fund projects in Birmingham, Huntsville, Decatur, Montgomery, and Phenix City.

The money, through the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law and Inflation Reduction Act, is part of $3.3 billion flowing to 41 states, according to an announcement from the Biden Administration.

The grant program was targeted toward communities showing needs brought on by underinvestment and pollution.

The projects are:

• $36.6 million to connect West Montgomery residents separated from economic opportunities by the construction of Interstates 65 and 85 along the Selma-to-Montgomery Trail
• $27.3 million for a cable-suspended pedestrian bridge and two truss pedestrian bridges in Huntsville, connecting residents in low-income neighborhoods and public housing developments near Memorial Parkway to downtown businesses.
• $14.5 million for the Fourth Avenue North project, a 15-block complete street redesign between 24th Street North and Ninth Street North, converting the road from one-way to two-way and reconnecting downtown neighborhoods and businesses divided by the construction of Interstate 65 in the 1960s.
• $18.4 million for the Dr. Bill Sims Hike-Bike Way on the Singing River Trail in Decatur. The project will reconnect the trail to Decatur’s downtown riverfront.
• $352,000 for a planning study to explore removing, retrofitting, or mitigating the Crawford Road/13th Street Corridor in Phenix City.

The projects are aimed at revitalizing communities, providing access to jobs and reducing pollution.
