The Alabama Department of Transportation’s Grove Hill team has earned an honor for its work on the Linden Bypass project. The project was recently selected for the Clear Water Alabama 2025 Award of Excellence, recognizing exceptional efforts in protecting Alabama’s natural resources.
The Clear Water Alabama award celebrates organizations and individuals who excel in controlling erosion, sediment, and stormwater during construction.
The US-43 Linden Bypass stood out as a shining example of how public and private sectors can collaborate effectively to preserve the environment.
