The Baldwin County Commission is partnering with Loxley on a new 30 Cubed program on a new east-to-west corridor between U.S. Highway 31 and Alabama Highway 59.
The $16.3 million project will take 36 months to complete. It will include a 480-foot bridge over Fish River and will complete an already existing link by adding a connection between Bedrock Boulevard and Highway 59.
Baldwin County will split the cost with the City of Loxley.
“While portions of this route already exist, this project brings it all together, creating a continuous corridor that improves travel efficiency and supports faster emergency response,” the Commission stated in an announcement.
Baldwin County Engineer Frank Lundy said Loxley will handle maintenance on the roadway after it is complete.
“So, very impressive for a local government to do a project of this magnitude,” said Lundy.
Commissioner Matt McKenzie said the new segment will help first responders during emergencies.
The project must first undergo environmental reviews and permitting.
The 30 Cubed program was launched in 2025, and the Loxley project will be the seventh under the program.
