HUNTSVILLE, Ala. (WAFF) - Costly, but a commonsense investment, that’s what the Biden Administration is calling the newly revealed American Job Plan.
The president called his proposed bill a “once in a generation” investment in America’s future. $2 trillion is expected to be invested into repairing and rebuilding bridges, highways and roads.
Infrastructure in Alabama is ranked one of the lowest in the country.
According to the American Society of Civil Engineers, the state earned an overall grade of C- and it’s a D+ when it comes to Alabama roads.
