Katie Britt joined local leaders Wednesday at the Birmingham Northern Beltline site to review progress on the expressway\u2019s construction.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">\u201cThe Birmingham Northern Beltline is a crucial project not just for local communities but for our state and for the entire region,\u201d Britt said. \u201cThis is exactly the kind of work I came and asked you all to let me do in Washington, D.C. It\u2019s also how I believe that federal transportation and infrastructure dollars should be spent \u2013 strategically and in a way that drives growth for local communities.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">The first segment of the Northern Beltline will complete the connection between State Routes 75 and 79 in Pinson and is expected to open to traffic in 2026. Future segments will connect the first segment to I-65 near Gardendale and I-59 north of Trussville.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">Once completed, the Northern Beltline will be a 52-mile interstate \u2013 Interstate 422 \u2013 extending from I-59 in northeast Jefferson County to the I-459 interchange near Bessemer. This \u201cnorthern loop\u201d will help foster economic development, divert traffic around Birmingham and provide first responders with quicker access to communities.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">By helping to better connect communities, Fultondale Fire Chief Justin McKenzie noted the Birmingham Northern Beltline will be a big help during emergencies.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">\u201cIt\u2019s going to boost our economy, create jobs and strengthen our infrastructure. But I tell you, speaking as a first responder and as fire chief, what excites me most about the Northern Beltline is not just what it will do for our economy but what it will do for public safety. It will save lives,\u201d McKenzie said.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">Alabama\u2019s congressional delegation secured $525 million in federal funding, which will complete the first 10-mile segment of the Northern Beltline that will connect State Route 75 near Palmerdale to U.S. Highway 31 near Gardendale.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<div class=\"code-block code-block-6\" style=\"margin: 8px auto; text-align: center; display: block; clear: both;\">\n<div class=\"zox-post-ad-wrap\"><span class=\"zox-ad-label\">Advertisement.
