The Alabama Department of Transportation (ALDOT) Office Engineer Division received a $1,000,000 Formula Grant award from the Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) under the Highway Planning and Construction program (CFDA 20.205) on September 8, 2025, with a completion date of September 30, 2029. This grant funds downtown streetscape improvements in the City of Calera, Alabama, specifically along State Route 25 (Main Street) from State Route 3 (US-31) to the CSX Railroad and along State Route 3 (US-31) from Main Street to 17th Avenue. The project encompasses infrastructure enhancements designed to improve pedestrian experience, connectivity, and safety within the downtown commercial corridor.

The Highway Planning and Construction program, authorized under the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act, supports states in constructing, preserving, and improving highway-related infrastructure and transportation networks. This award reflects ALDOT's demonstrated capacity to manage complex, federally-funded transportation infrastructure projects and represents one of numerous concurrent grants through which the agency advances multimodal transportation improvements, including streetscape enhancements, pedestrian facilities, and downtown revitalization initiatives throughout Alabama.
