"Government announces $300M in funding for bridge repairs and construction across the US"

The Biden administration will announce nearly $300 million in funding to repair and replace bridges across eight states and the District of Columbia. Vice President Kamala Harris will make the announcement at the Arland D. Williams Jr. Memorial Bridge, which will receive $72 million in funding for repairs. The funding is the latest in a series of projects aimed at preserving and repairing the nation’s bridges. Since Biden signed the infrastructure law in November 2021, states, cities, tribes, and metropolitan planning organizations across the country have begun repairs on over 4,600 of the nation’s bridges.
