Alabama DOT releases Katrina damage repair costs

The Alabama Department of Transportation has released its costs for repairing road and bridge damage caused by Hurricane Katrina at $18.4 million.

Both Alabama ’s damage and news coverage following the devastating storm were far less than that of neighboring Mississippi and Louisiana . However, Chief Engineer Don Vaughn told The Associated Press that the nearly $20 million in repairs will go toward repairing Interstate 10 at the Mobile Causeway, the Cochrane-Africatown USA Bridge and tunnels under the Mobile Bay.

The costs were lower for Katrina than for 2004’s Hurricane Ivan, which cost the state about $27 million, The AP reported.
