The project is part of nearly $300 million in new federal bridge investments directed to urban and rural communities nationwide.
Vice President Harris is scheduled to appear at D.C.’s 14th Street Bridge on Thursday to announce a $72 million grant to overhaul one of its aging spans over the Potomac River, part of nearly $300 million in new federal bridge spending directed to urban and rural communities.The 73-year-old northbound bridge carrying Interstate 395 from Arlington handles more than 88,000 vehicles a day, despite its poor condition, according to federal and local officials.
Other details of the work, including the timeline for construction, were not immediately available Thursday morning. The bridge’s southbound span and the nearby tolled lanes in each direction are not included in the project.Harris and other Biden administration officials have highlighted investments in infrastructure, manufacturing and clean energy projects in recent weeks, as conflicts intensify with Republican lawmakers over the future of federal spending and the nation’s debt ceiling.
