President Biden is set to unveil a nearly $5 billion investment into dozens of infrastructure projects throughout the country on Thursday during a visit to Superior, Wisconsin.
The investment targets 37 major infrastructure projects throughout the country across at least 12 states, with much of the funding going toward repairing and building new bridges. Among the investments is $600 million to replace the 1-5 bridge that connects Washington and Oregon, $372 million for the Sagamore Bridge in Cape Cod, Massachusetts, and $1.06 billion to replace the Blatnik Bridge that runs between Wisconsin and Minnesota, which is near where Mr. Biden is set to appear for the announcement on Thursday. White House principal deputy press secretary Olivia Dalton called this a “full-circle moment” for the president.

New bridges are woke. Stop new bridges from grooming our children!
Im just gonna pull out an old conversation from highschool that kinda fits this.
“The hell is that?” -Me
“A suspension bridge?” -Friend
“No, thats a penis nbridge.” -Me
“Their building penis bridges to turn the freaking kids gay!” -Other friend across the room
“See, I aint the only one.”

Washington — President Biden is set to unveil a nearly $5 billion investment into dozens of infrastructure projects throughout the country on Thursday during a visit to Superior, Wisconsin.
The investment targets 37 major infrastructure projects throughout the country across at least 12 states, with much of the funding going toward repairing and building new bridges.
White House principal deputy press secretary Olivia Dalton called this a “full-circle moment” for the president.
“He first visited the Blatnik Bridge about two years ago after the State of the Union in 2022 to talk about the important investments we’re making through the bipartisan infrastructure law in America,” Dalton said aboard Air Force One.
During the visit, the president is set to meet with small business owners who the White House says are expected to benefit from the new Blatnik Bridge.
“Joe Biden bet on the American worker while Donald Trump blamed the American worker,” UAW President Shawn Fain said in his announcement during the UAW’s political convention in Washington, D.C. "We need to know who’s gonna sit in the most powerful seat in the world and help us win as a united working class.

Yeah more cars
This is not so much ‘more cars’ as it is ‘less cars plunging into rivers during a bridge collapse.’
I can only speak for my local Bridge …… they want to replace the old Sagamore bridge to get the same number of lanes. Replace the WPA project from 1935 with a modern one. Replace two extra narrow lanes with no breakdown with lanes that meet code. Replace opposing traffic right next to each other with a median. Replace a bicycle path on sidewalk with a separate bike path. Replace a low speed limit bridge with the same speed limit as the roads it joins.
Most importantly replace the common summertime traffic report of “40+ mile backup to the Sagamore Bridge” with …. Much less
It’ll be helluva safer and a huge win for the environment by easing the legendary traffic jams
Good job Joe. Now do more good things.
These projects should come with strict minimum wage requirements and maximum profit margins for the corporations that run them.
If you pay young people 40 bucks an hour to work on bridges, they will come flocking for these good jobs and regard the fed positively for life.
But they’re being institututed by dems so they’ll pay 17 an hour, work nights, and give the CEO leeway to pocket 15 million bucks a year.
