VERBATIM: The grants come from a $1 trillion infrastructure package President Biden signed into law in 2021. The largest project provides an additional $1.4 billion to help replace two bridges carrying Interstate 5 traffic over the Columbia River between Oregon and Washington. Other projects receiving $500 million or more include bridges in Mobile, Alabama and Harrisburg, Pennsylvania.
