Roads, broadband and bridges: Here's what's in the infrastructure agreement

WASHINGTON – The White House released details of the bipartisan Senate infrastructure deal, ending weeks of negotiations over the specifics of a plan aimed at modernizing the nation's deteriorating transportation and public works systems.

The plan would direct billions towards renewing America's physical infrastructure needs, such as roads, bridges, railways, as well as broadband internet, according to details of the plan.

President Joe Biden called the deal "the most significant long-term investment in our infrastructure and competitiveness in nearly a century."

"This deal signals to the world that our democracy can function, deliver, and do big things," the president said in a statement. "As we did with the transcontinental railroad and the interstate highway, we will once again transform America and propel us into the future."
