Biden Signs the $1.2 Trillion Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act

President Biden signed the bipartisan Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act into law, directing $1.2 trillion toward roads, bridges, rail, water systems and broadband nationwide.

President Biden signed the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act (H.R. 3684, Pub. L. 117-58) on 15 November 2021 at a White House South Lawn ceremony of about 800 guests^[4][5]
The Senate passed it 69-30 on 10 August 2021 and the House agreed 228-206 on 5 November 2021, with 13 Republicans joining most Democrats^[4][5]
It provides about $1.2 trillion, including $550 billion of new spending, for roads, bridges, transit, rail, broadband, clean water and the electric grid^[4]
Senate-version figures included $110 billion for roads and bridges, $39 billion transit, $66 billion rail, $7.5 billion EV chargers and $65 billion broadband^[4]
Portman and Sinema led the negotiations; the bill drew 19 Senate Republicans, and House Republicans who backed it faced threats and attacks from Marjorie Taylor Greene^[4][5]
The act authorised federal highway and public transportation spending from fiscal 2022 through 30 September 2026, which is when its authorisations expired^[2]
Congress has since extended those authorities to 11 December 2026 in H.R. 6500, the stopgap signed on 2 September 2026^[3]
