Infrastructure Law Turns Year Old Is the Massive, Bipartisan Legislation Working as Intended? By Lucy Perry CEG CORRESPONDENT
Mid-November marked the end of year one of the bipartisan Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act (IIJA), and ARTBA reviewed U.S. Treasury Department data on new project starts spawned by the bill. The road and bridge construction association reports that 29,000 new projects were supported by $53.5 billion in highway and bridge formula funds leveraged at the state level. “A key takeaway from the Treasury data is that the bipartisan infrastructure law is working in year-one as intended,” said Dr. Alison Premo Black, ARTBA chief see LAW page 88
The White House claims the infrastructure bill is the largest and most significant investment in rebuilding roads and bridges since President Eisenhower’s Interstate Highway System.
