Alberta announces $114.6 million to support local infrastructure projects

Jul 28, 2025 | 1:55 PM

The Alberta Government has announced new funding for local road, bridge and water infrastructure projects.

Rural Alberta is the backbone of our province, driving economic growth, feeding the world and strengthening our communities. Our government is investing in the infrastructure rural communities need to grow and thrive, whether it’s reliable roads, modern bridges, safe community airports or water facilities. These are the essentials that support families, attract investment and keep our rural economy moving. Through Budget 2025, we’re proud to partner with municipalities to deliver real, on-the-ground results that build stronger communities and a stronger Alberta. Danielle Smith, Premier of the Province of Alberta
