The funding comes from last year’s infrastructure law and will be distributed among the states, the District of Columbia, and Puerto Rico.

The nation’s roads, bridges, and tunnels will receive $60 billion in federal dollars as part of last year’s Infrastructure and Investment Jobs Act, reports Alex Gangitano in The Hill. The funding will go toward repair and maintenance projects and new initiatives like a nationwide electric vehicle charging system.
“Funding towards carbon reduction program, promoting resilient operations for cost-saving transportation, and a national electric vehicle (EV) infrastructure program is all new funding from the law,” Gangitano writes. The money raises bridge funding by almost 400 percent over fiscal year 2021.
“This is more than a $15 billion increase from the year before the bipartisan infrastructure law and what that ultimately adds up to is a lot more good projects that improve everyday life.”—Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg
While the funding is distributed among the states and Puerto Rico, “States that will receive the most include Texas, which will receive nearly $5.5 billion; New York, which will receive more than $2.7 billion; and California, which will receive more than $5.6 billion.”
