President Joe Biden touted infrastructure projects underway that will rebuild roads and bridges vital to the country’s supply chain during his State of the Union address Feb. 7, with efforts to improve connectivity along freight and passenger corridors a key theme.
“Already we’ve funded over 20,000 projects, including major airports from Boston to Atlanta to Portland — projects that are going to put thousands of people to work rebuilding our highways, our bridges, our railroads, our tunnels, ports, airports, clean water, high-speed internet all across America,” Biden told Congress as he pointed to 2021’s Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act, enacted with bipartisan support.
