Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act
The bipartisan Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act provides a five-year reauthorization of federal surface transportation programs and will help improve and repair Connecticut's highways, bridges, public transportation, and water infrastructure. The IIJA also includes new resources to improve Connecticut's ports, waterways, and high-speed internet access. The law is the result of months-long bipartisan negotiations in the House and Senate and represents the largest reinvestment in America's transportation infrastructure in more than twenty years.
