The event will celebrate the planned replacement of the 150-year-old Baltimore and Potomac Tunnel with funds from the $1 trillion infrastructure law that passed Congress with bipartisan support and stands as one of Biden's biggest legislative victories. Officials are preparing to break ground on a $5 billion project that includes a new tunnel named for the abolitionist and Underground Railroad booster Frederick Douglass, which they hope will go into service by 2032.as a bipartisan dealmaker who can ramp up infrastructure projects to reduce traffic congestion, improve safety, ease climate change, boost economic growth, halt inflation and create high-paying union jobs for people without college degrees.
Monday's event takes Biden, a Democrat who touts his alliance with labor unions, to liberal Baltimore at an event expected to be attended by the state's governor and two senators, all Democrats. He is expected to announce an agreement between Amtrak and a labor group on the tunnel project, according to a White House official.
