President Joe Biden has signed a wide-ranging $1-trillion infrastructure package, the largest such measure in decades, which will provide substantial and long-sought funding for upgrades to highways, transit and passenger rail lines, water systems, the electric grid and other public works.
Biden signed the much-awaited measure, the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act on Nov. 15, in a late afternoon ceremony on the South Lawn of the White House. The sprawling package is the most important federal construction legislation in many years.
