YouTube Description
as posted by the channelThe historic $1.2 trillion Bipartisan Infrastructure Law invested in workers, neighborhoods, and better transportation like never before. When President Biden signed the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law (also known as the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act) in November 2021, he committed to delivering once-in-a-generation investments to rebuild America's infrastructure and competitiveness. Today, the Biden-Harris Administration is breaking ground and cutting ribbons on projects across the country to rebuild our roads and bridges, expand passenger rail, improve and upgrade ports, modernize our airports, and build a clean energy economy for all Americans. To date across the Biden-Harris Administration, nearly $570 billion in Bipartisan Infrastructure Law funding has been announced for over 66,000 projects and awards in all 50 states, D.C., and U.S. territories.
— 196,000+ miles of roadway are being repaired or improved from coast to coast – enough to cross the U.S. 65 times.
—11,400+ projects to build, repair, or modernize America’s bridges are moving forward.
— 630+ transportation projects have been announced across more than 195 Tribal Nations.
— 580+ port and waterway projects have been announced by either U.S. DOT or the Army Corps of Engineers to strengthen supply chain reliability, speed up the movement of goods, reduce the costs of everyday items, and lower carbon emissions.
—1,500+ airports are modernizing their terminals, expanding operations, or improving their runway infrastructure.
—1,600+ communities in all 50 states have been funded to improve roadway safety for drivers, cyclists, and pedestrians.
— Nearly 320 rail projects nationwide have been announced, including those that will modernize and expand America’s rail network, deliver the first high-speed rail systems in the country, replace aging infrastructure on America’s busiest rail corridor in the Northeast, make freight rail safer, and eliminate or improve 400+ highway-rail crossings.
That’s a Big Deal.
