Today, Congresswoman Suzan DelBene (WA-01) released the following statement celebrating the second anniversary of the bipartisan Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act:

"Two years ago, President Biden and Congress made the largest investment in America’s infrastructure since the interstate highway system. In the years since, the law has continued to drive Washington forward, delivering nearly $8 billion to rebuild, restore, and strengthen our infrastructure. These investments are making tangible improvements in our communities by addressing critical road and bridge repairs, expanding affordable broadband across our state, and creating good-paying jobs. Moving forward, the law will continue to deliver long-term investments that will make our communities safer, healthier, better connected, and more accessible."
