D’IBERVILLE (GG) — On Wednesday, July 8, 2026, $27 million in Federal Better Utilizing Investments to Leverage Development (BUILD) grants have been awarded to two critical infrastructure projects in Mississippi’s Fourth Congressional District. The city of D’Iberville received $5 million from the U.S. Department of Transportation for the Mallett Road Multimodal Improvement project.
The project includes widening Mallett Road, improving intersections, enhancing traffic flow, upgrading utilities and traffic signals, constructing new turn lanes, and adding a six-foot sidewalk to improve mobility and safety for both motorists and pedestrians. The project represents another major investment in D’Iberville’s transportation infrastructure and help meet the needs of its growing residential and commercial community.
“Mississippi’s Gulf Coast continues to experience tremendous growth, and these investments will help ensure our infrastructure keeps pace with that progress,” stated Mississippi’s Fourth District Congressman Mike Ezell. “I appreciate the work of the Mississippi Department of Transportation, the City of D’Iberville, and our local leaders who helped make these projects possible. I will continue working to secure federal resources that improve the quality of life for our communities while strengthening Mississippi’s economy.”
The BUILD Grant Program supports investments in surface transportation infrastructure that improve safety, mobility, economic competitiveness, and quality of life in communities across the country.
Construction of the Mallett Road Multimodal Improvement Project is anticipated to begin in late 2026.
