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.
