In a State of the Union address that led off with forcefully outlining U.S. actions aimed at deterring Russia’s attack on Ukraine, President Joe Biden also pledged to follow through on the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act, describing a strong 2022 start in putting its hundreds of billions of dollars to work on highways, water systems and other types of projects.
In his March 1 speech, Biden declared, “We’re done talking about infrastructure weeks. We’re now talking about an infrastructure decade.”
