Fact Sheets and Map Highlighting Infrastructure Law Projects Released
The following excepts were provided by the White House: Statements and Release
One year ago, President Biden signed the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law – a once-in-a-generation investment in our nation’s infrastructure and competitiveness.
To date, the Administration has announced over $185 billion in funding and over 6,900 specific projects, reaching over 4,000 communities across all 50 states, D.C., and the territories.
State-By-State Map and Fact Sheets
The White House Infrastructure Implementation Team released:
- New state-by-state fact sheets which provide detailed information about announced funding and projects in each state, along with anticipated funding by category over the next 5 years.
- New map that shows how much funding has been announced for work within each state, including a breakdown by category of funding.

Over 2,800 bridge projects have launched to date through funding from the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law.
Road and Bridge Projects
The U.S. Department of Transportation (USDOT) and Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) announced approximately $120 billion in Federal Highway Apportionments for highways and bridges for fiscal years 2022 and 2023. To date, over 2,800 bridge projects have launched.
For local infrastructure projects:
- USDOT made 26 awards totaling $1.5 billion for highway, multimodal freight and rail projects that will make the nation’s transportation systems safer and more resilient, eliminate supply chain bottlenecks, and improve critical freight movements.
- USDOT also announced $2.2 billion in Rebuilding American Infrastructure with Sustainability and Equity (RAISE) grants for 166 projects that will allow urban and rural communities to move forward on projects that modernize roads, bridges, transit, rail, ports, and intermodal transportation and make our transportation systems safer, more accessible, more affordable, and more sustainable.

Five Game-Changing County Steel Bridge Projects
Short span bridges provide vital links in the nation’s infrastructure network. Yet, more than 220,000 U.S. bridges, representing 36 percent of the national bridge inventory, need major repair work or should be replaced. Counties across the nation are developing innovative steel solutions to fix our county road systems.
These five county projects that are changing the way bridges are designed and constructed.
- Seltice-Warner Bridge (Whitman County, Washington)
- 200th Street Bridge (Buchanan County, Iowa)
- Cannelville Road Bridge (Muskingum County, Ohio)
- Jesup South Bridge (Buchanan County, Iowa)
- TR-251 Bridge (Champaign County, Illinois)
Learn more about the benefits of short span steel bridges for county projects.
Does steel provide a sustainable option for bridges?

Steel is the most recycled material on the planet. Some of the sustainable advantages of steel include:
- Steel from a disassembled bridge can be used again for another project.
- Steel bridges can last 100 years or more, with minimal maintenance over their long service lives.
- The high strength of steel permits longer spans, which minimizes disruption to underlying habitats.
- Steel is highly resistant to extreme natural disasters such as earthquakes.
- The American steel industry has achieved a 31 percent reduction in energy intensity and a 36 percent reduction in greenhouse gas intensity since 1990.
