White House Launches 5th Investing in America Tour
Biden-Harris Administration announces $5 billion for new infrastructure projects and releases new tools for Americans to see how the President’s actions are lowering costs and benefiting their daily lives.
According to Mirage, today, the Department of Transportation is announcing $5 billion in awards from the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law to reconstruct, repair, and restore 13 large bridges across the country. These bridges play a critical role in connecting communities to jobs and resources, economic development, and serve as essential corridors for freight travel.
These projects will also address important safety issues and make the bridges more resilient to extreme weather, all while creating good-paying construction jobs. Secretary of Transportation Pete Buttigieg will travel to Pennsylvania to make the announcement of the awards. To date, the Biden-Harris Administration has announced over 60,000 infrastructure and clean energy projects across the country, funded by the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law and Inflation Reduction Act, including nearly 10,000 bridge projects already underway.
