Alabama Plans Postwar Highway Buildout for 222 Million
Alabama could modernize its entire interstate and regional road network for 222.39 million dollars under a postwar program. Director Robin Swift testified before the House Public Roads Committee, outlining state match needs of about 6 million dollars annually to leverage 20.8 million federal first-year funds, with a three-year federal aid spread. He warned interregional links could consume Alabama's matching funds if prioritized, and noted the current road system lacks unified planning and suffers maintenance shortfalls needing over three million dollars yearly and substantial equipment replacement.
