Works progress
Congressional lawmakers, city mayors, union workers,
tribal leaders and civil rights activists gather on the South
Lawn of the White House on Nov. 15 after President Joe
Biden signed into law roughly $1 trillion in infrastructure
investments. The bipartisan deal includes $110 billion
for roads and bridges, $66 billion for railroads, and
$55 billion for cleaner drinking water and replacing
lead pipes. Biden called it “proof that despite the cynics,
Democrats and Republicans can come together and
deliver results ... Let’s remember this day.”
