After Three Years, Historic Infrastructure Law Delivers Nearly $10B for WA Roads, Bridges, Ports & Airports

November 15, 2024

Cantwell: “These historic infrastructure investments are making our economy stronger and more resilient, and should be continued regardless of the change in Administration” 


Nov. 15 marks the third anniversary of the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law (BIL), a once-in-a-generation investment in America’s infrastructure. Since 2021, the investments included in the law have delivered $9.89 billion to transportation infrastructure projects across Washington state. As Chair of the Senate Committee on Commerce, Science and Transportation, Sen. Maria Cantwell (D-Wash.) authored many of the provisions in the law to meet the needs of the country. Additionally, much of the funding has gone out under grant programs authorized by the Commerce Committee.

"Washingtonians are seeing many benefits from the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law, from a new passenger terminal at Spokane International Airport, to helping replace the outdated I-5 bridge, to billions in new energy grid upgrades, to restoring salmon habitat, to major new port investments that will boost exports and local jobs. All these historic infrastructure investments are making our economy stronger and more resilient, and should be continued regardless of the change in Administration,” said Sen. Cantwell.
