Without funds from the 2019 Rebuild Alabama Act, nearly 14 miles of roads in Elmore County would not be resurfaced in the next fiscal year.
Elmore County has about 1,000 miles of county roads including about 200 miles of dirt roads it maintains. The funding from Rebuild Alabama means an extra $1.8 million in work can be done to county roads and bridges in 2024.
