The Biden-Harris Administration has announced over $4.9 billion in funding for 37 infrastructure projects through the Mega and INFRA grant programs, focusing on large, complex, and transformative initiatives. These projects aim to improve national and regional economic, mobility, and safety benefits, with a significant portion of the funding allocated to rural communities. The grants will support various projects such as bridge replacements, multimodal corridor improvements, and railroad bridge modernization, addressing critical infrastructure needs across the country.
