ALDOT Awards Contract for SR-77 Bridge Replacement in Etowah County, Alabama

The Alabama Department of Transportation (ALDOT) has awarded a contract for the replacement of the northbound SR-77 bridge over the Coosa River in Etowah County to Scott Bridge Company. This project, known as the 'Little Bridge' or Gilbert's Ferry Bridge, connects Southside and Rainbow City and has been a long-standing regional need due to traffic congestion and safety concerns. Governor Kay Ivey announced the contract award, highlighting that the 87-year-old truss bridge, originally constructed in 1939, will be replaced with a modern two-lane bridge. The new bridge will be 36 feet wide and 910 feet long, significantly wider and longer than the existing structure. The project is funded through a combination of state and federal funds, including a $3 million appropriation secured by U.S. senators Tommy Tuberville and Katie Britt, and Congressman Mike Rogers. Construction is anticipated to begin in early 2027 and conclude by the end of 2029.

Senator Katie Britt Secures $1.02 Million in Federal Funding for Riverside Bridge Replacement in St. Clair County, Alabama

U.S. Senator Katie Britt has successfully secured $1.02 million in federal funding for the replacement of the Depot Street Bridge in Riverside, St. Clair County, Alabama. This funding was obtained through the fiscal 2026 Transportation, Housing and Urban Development Appropriations Act. Senator Britt's office reported that she has secured over $68 million for Alabama through this legislation. The existing bridge, constructed in 1935, currently handles more than 1,000 vehicles daily, including school buses. The county has identified the bridge as lacking a proper guardrail system and being in critical need of replacement, particularly due to ongoing residential development in the nearby area. The project aims to address safety concerns and accommodate the increasing traffic demands.
