As the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act moves into its 13th month on the books, the Senate committee responsible for IIJA's $350-billion highway portion continues to keep tabs on the rollout of the law’s road and bridge funding and how the U.S. Dept. of Transportation is carrying out the measure’s many highway provisions.
