Birmingham, AL, September 18, 2026 —
The Mobile River Bridge project, identified as Alabama’s largest infrastructure undertaking, has achieved a significant financial milestone with the securing of a $2.52 billion federal loan. The funding comes from the Transportation Infrastructure Finance and Innovation Act (TIFIA) program.
This loan represents a critical step in advancing the project, which is designed to address several key transportation and economic challenges in the region. The primary objectives include alleviating persistent traffic congestion across Mobile Bay, enhancing the movement of freight to and from the Port of Mobile, and improving overall safety along the corridor.
The project is situated along the Interstate 10 corridor, connecting Mobile and Baldwin counties. This strategic location is vital for regional commerce and commuter travel.
With the federal funding now in place, the project is moving forward. The initial phase of construction is scheduled to commence before the end of 2026.
