President Biden is set to unveil a nearly $5 billion investment into dozens of infrastructure projects throughout the country on Thursday during a visit to Superior, Wisconsin.

The investment targets 37 major infrastructure projects throughout the country across at least 12 states, with much of the funding going toward repairing and building new bridges. Among the investments is $600 million to replace the 1-5 bridge that connects Washington and Oregon, $372 million for the Sagamore Bridge in Cape Cod, Massachusetts, and $1.06 billion to replace the Blatnik Bridge that runs between Wisconsin and Minnesota, which is near where Mr. Biden is set to appear for the announcement on Thursday. White House principal deputy press secretary Olivia Dalton called this a “full-circle moment” for the president.

    Washington — President Biden is set to unveil a nearly $5 billion investment into dozens of infrastructure projects throughout the country on Thursday during a visit to Superior, Wisconsin.

    The investment targets 37 major infrastructure projects throughout the country across at least 12 states, with much of the funding going toward repairing and building new bridges.

    White House principal deputy press secretary Olivia Dalton called this a “full-circle moment” for the president.

    “He first visited the Blatnik Bridge about two years ago after the State of the Union in 2022 to talk about the important investments we’re making through the bipartisan infrastructure law in America,” Dalton said aboard Air Force One.

    During the visit, the president is set to meet with small business owners who the White House says are expected to benefit from the new Blatnik Bridge.

    “Joe Biden bet on the American worker while Donald Trump blamed the American worker,” UAW President Shawn Fain said in his announcement during the UAW’s political convention in Washington, D.C. "We need to know who’s gonna sit in the most powerful seat in the world and help us win as a united working class.
