Description
Join us to celebrate the completion of the 40-mile rehabilitation of the Natchez Trace Parkway located in the states of Alabama and Mississippi.
The project includes new safety features along Natchez Trace Parkway with raised pavement markings to help prevent lane departures and crashes. Additionally, the project brings the pavement and road condition up to a state of good repair, allowing for more cost-effective preventative maintenance to take place in the future.
This $62+ million project received funding through the Nationally Significant Federal Lands and Tribal Projects (NSFLTP) program.
