Bridges are connectors— connecting people, the movement of goods, and communities. With this $27 billion investment, we’re going to fix 15,000 bridges across America. A really big deal. With the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law, President Biden is #BuildingABetterAmerica.

America's bridges are central to our competitiveness & I've always supported big, bold investments in this vital infrastructure. I'm pleased to see the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law providing the largest investment in US bridges since the the interstate highway system's creation.

💰 Provide $27.5 billion to states and tribal transportation facilities
🛠 Fix approximately 15,000 bridges

New today: Kansas will receive $225 million to repair aging bridges via the bipartisan infrastructure law.
My office released a report finding 732 (!) bridges in #KS03 need repairs.
This funding will start to tackle that backlog, creating jobs and improving safety.

We’re facing an inflection point with climate change and need to act. That’s why I’ve put the U.S. on course to achieve net-zero emissions by 2050.
The infrastructure law will help us get there by upgrading our power infrastructure and deploying cutting-edge energy technology.

The numbers don’t lie. 2021 was a year of historic and record-breaking extreme weather. This will only worsen in the years ahead if we fail to meet the demands of the climate crisis. We can’t afford inaction.
