The Brent Spence Bridge, which connects Cincinnati and northern Kentucky, was declared functionally obsolete by the Federal Highway Administration in the 1990s.
"It’s a giant bridge, man," Biden said this week when asked about his planned trip to the Brent Spence Bridge. "It’s a lot of money. It’s important."
As the prospects for massive, transformational legislating diminish rapidly this year in a divided Washington, the White House and top Cabinet officials aim to focus instead on selling Biden’s recent achievements and demonstrating how the new laws directly affect Americans.President Joe Biden spoke on Jan. 14 about his infrastructure plan's $27 billion program to repair and upgrade roughly 15,000 bridges across the U.S.
Other top administration officials are holding similar events Wednesday and Thursday at other major bridges in the U.S. Vice President Kamala Harris is stopping by the collection of bridges crossing the Calumet River in Chicago; Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg was appearing at the Gold Star Memorial Bridge in New London, Connecticut; and White House infrastructure coordinator Mitch Landrieu was to be at the Golden Gate Bridge in San Francisco.
