$300 Million Funding from Biden Administration for Bridge Construction in America

Officials have indicated that President Joe Biden's administration will announce funding totaling approximately $300 million under the infrastructure law to construct nine bridges across the United States. The White House stated, "These bridges will serve a total of 230,000 vehicles daily, and this investment will save taxpayers time and money by reducing traffic congestion and making long-awaited improvements." The infrastructure law, passed by Congress with support from both Democrats and Republicans, represents one of Biden's key legislative achievements, as his administration seeks to highlight this law in light of Biden's expected re-election campaign. While Biden visits Ireland, Vice President Kamala Harris, Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg, and other officials will visit some bridge sites to discuss funding for projects in eight states and the capital, Washington, D.C. Biden signed the infrastructure law, estimated to cost $1 trillion, in November 2021, and his administration is working on implementing it through projects aimed at repairing bridges and roads and expanding internet access to more Americans.
