Alabama Road Improvement Study

If all the repairs that are needed on Alabama roads and bridges were addressed, it would cost approximately 4.6 billion dollars.  That's according to TRIP, a national transportation research group.  The group recently conducted a study of the state's roadways and released a list of the 50 greatest road improvement needs.  Director of Policy and Research for TRIP, Rocky Moretti says 16 percent of Alabama's major urban roads are in poor condition and nine percent of bridges are structurally deficient.  The state was selected for the study because of its high traffic fatality rate.
