Biden administration invests in bridge infrastructure overhaul.
Originally Published 2 years ago — by The Washington Post
The Biden administration has announced a $72 million grant to overhaul the northbound span of D.C.'s 14th Street Bridge, which carries Interstate 395 from Arlington and handles over 88,000 vehicles a day. The project is part of nearly $300 million in new federal bridge spending directed to urban and rural communities. The bridge has gone without urgently needed repairs for decades, and the upgrade will address urgent safety and state of good repair concerns. The project will include replacing a deteriorating section, addressing cracks, repairing concrete and steel, replacing bearings and modifying piers.
