Biden Admin Touts Projects During Infrastructure Week Amid Voter Skepticism

The Biden administration kicks off “Infrastructure Week” on May 13 by sharing information on the implementation of the president’s infrastructure law across the country, as part of an effort to overcome widespread voter skepticism regarding the effectiveness of his massive spending initiatives.

Since the law was passed in November 2021, $454 billion in funding has been distributed to more than 56,000 projects, the White House said.

The infrastructure projects include various transportation improvements, including more than 257,000 miles of roads, nearly 13,000 bridges, over 300 airport terminals, and more than 450 port and waterway projects. They also include $66 billion in spending for railroads, which, according to the White House, represents the “largest investment in passenger rail since the inception of Amtrak.”

The infrastructure law also funded 180 programs that advance President Joe Biden’s Justice40 Initiative, which seeks to ensure that 40 percent of the overall benefits of certain government clean energy projects are allocated to disadvantaged communities.
