U.S. Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg stood in front of the Golden Gate Bridge on Monday, to announce a $400 million federal grant to improve the iconic structure.
"There is only one Golden Gate Bridge, and we are going to protect it," said Buttigieg. "It carries over 100,00 vehicles a day, 37 million a year, including over half a million freight trucks making it a key link for supply chains, including the water-borne freight at the Port of Oakland."
The money will come from the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law. President Biden and his administration have been traveling the country to tout its benefits. Former Speaker Pelosi praised Biden for getting the bill passed, saying it’ll improve safety and create jobs nationwide. "As a down payment for the president’s commitment to rebuild after the storms, we just announced we’re immediately making $10.2 million of emergency transportation funds to repair damage roads," said Buttigieg.
