Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act — $1.2T Bipartisan Package for Roads, Rail, Broadband

| United States

Biden signed the bipartisan Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act on November 15, 2021, committing $1.2 trillion over 10 years to road and bridge repair, rail modernization, broadband internet expansion, water system upgrades, and electrical grid resilience. The bill passed 69-30 in the Senate with 19 Republican votes — a rare bipartisan achievement. It was the largest US infrastructure investment since Eisenhower's Interstate Highway System in the 1950s.
