Ivey, a backer of the West Alabama Highway project, said the widening project through rural West Alabama is 'important for our state.'
Alabama Gov. Kay Ivey said there is no “either-or proposition” in the ongoing debate on whether the state should invest funds into the West Alabama Highway corridor or to further widen Interstate 65.
“The West Alabama Corridor/Highway 43 project is very important for this state, and I am proud to support it,” Ivey said. She has backed the project since prioritizing it during her 2021 “State of the State” address. Elliott said he is concerned if the state plans on borrowing future fuel tax revenues to financed the widening of Route 43 through rural West Alabama. He said the move could harm the state’s ability to provide matching funds to other big-ticket projects in the future like the Interstate 10 Mobile River Bridge and Bayway project.
Day and other public officials -- including Mobile Mayor Sandy Stimpson and Tuscaloosa Mayor Walt Maddox -- argued the project was needed to support economic development at the Alabama State Docks, and with automobile manufacturing in Tuscaloosa.
