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.
The economic impact?
- 15,000 safer, climate resilient, modernized bridges

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.
