U.S. Department of Transportation’s Post

The Biden-Harris administration is taking a significant step forward by investing $5 billion in 13 major bridges across the country! According to the American Road & Transportation Builders Association (ARTBA), 1 in 3 bridges in the US needs repair. Shockingly, over 42,000 bridges are rated structurally deficient yet are traveled on daily. As the Business Development Director at Mission Critical, I witness firsthand the transformative impact that robust infrastructure has on our communities and industries. This investment transcends mere repairs; it ensures safety, enhances connectivity and drives economic growth. At Mission Critical, LLC, we excel in guiding teams to develop technical, winning pursuits in response to Alternative Project Delivery (APD) procurements. This initiative underscores the urgent need for sustained investment and cutting-edge innovation in our infrastructure. Together, we can bridge the gap to a safer and more efficient future. #Infrastructure #BidenHarrisAdministration #MissionCritical #BridgeRepair #Innovation #Safety #EconomicGrowth

Investing in #Infrastructure is NEVER a bad idea! In fact, a recent World Bank analysis found that every public dollar invested in infrastructure translated to $1.50 of economic activity. #Bridges #BeingHNTB #InfrastructureInvestment

Of course it's political of me to say this but it is not an inherently political point: the Biden Harris administration got this done. Got it through Congress. Got the funds out into the states. Got the projects started. Got the jobs created and the bridges too. It is a once in a century scale accomplishment and needed to be done in the Obama years (wasn't) and the Trump years (wasn't). And this matters. It is real. So much of the rest of the talk is not real. Leaders deliver results. Look for the results when you decide whether or not you are looking at a leader.

His presidency will be remembered as the catalyst for the infrastructure decade, a transformative era that has reignited a nation's commitment, red and blue, to rebuilding and revitalizing our crumbling infrastructure. With a sweeping vision that transcended party lines and state borders, President Biden spearheaded a comprehensive overhaul of our decaying infrastructure, laying the groundwork for the next administration for a bold new future where innovative, technology-driven solutions and unprecedented public-private collaborations converge to propel America's growth and prosperity for generations to come.

Infrastructure is easy to take for granted when it's working, but it takes vision and policy and innovative funding to keep up, as Sadek Wahba explains in his forthcoming and very special book, BUILD: Investing in America's Infrastructure, from Georgetown University Press!

January 5, 2024 America’s birth of modern Interstate Highways dates back to 1921 when Congress passed the Federal Highways Act. The Federal Highways Act of 1921 authorized the Bureau of Public Roads to begin funding State highway agencies in an attempt to develop a Interstate system of two lane, paved highways as a means of bringing together the States of our young country. After many years of successful progress, including passing the Miller Act of 1935 which provided much needed protections for the contractors involved in the Federally funded projects, the construction of the Interstate Highways system came to a near halt in 1941 as the United States became more actively involved in World War II.
