Council approves 2026 Rebuild Alabama plan to pave final streets in multi-year program
Summary
Wetumpka approved its 2026 Rebuild Alabama transportation plan, listing final streets to be paved in a multi-year program that officials said has resurfaced about 12 miles of road over five years.
The Wetumpka City Council approved the city's 2026 Rebuild Alabama transportation plan on July 21, 2025, listing final streets to be paved as part of a multi-year roadway rehabilitation program.
City staff member Justin (last name not provided) described the plan as the third year of an effort to address roads "from the bottom up," based on grading and pavement condition. Justin listed streets included in the 2026 work: Austin Street (North Pine to Opus Lejola), the entirety of West Tuskegee Street (Northbridge to Atalaga), North Pine Street (Westbridge to Alceola), North Shelby Street (Westbridge to Becoosa Street) and Marshall Street (Coosa to the curve). Justin said the city has used Rebuild Alabama funds to repave roughly 12 miles of roadway over the past five years.
Council members asked for clarifications about stretches of road that connect to state routes; staff said some segments are ALDOT (Alabama Department of Transportation) responsibilities and that Metropolitan Planning Organization (MPO) funds could be used on connector roads and sidewalks.
Why this matters: the plan allocates Rebuild Alabama funds to finish pavement work identified in the city's multi-year plan, affecting travel conditions for residents on listed streets and guiding next year's maintenance cycle.
Council action: the transportation plan for 2026 was presented and approved by motion and voice vote.
Ending: Staff indicated they will continue grading and pavement maintenance on the city’s schedule following the 2026 work list.
