Pete Buttigieg explains how the infrastructure law will affect you

Thanks to the $1.2 trillion bipartisan infrastructure law passed last year, Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg is overseeing one of the most significant investments in America's bridges, roads, and rails in more than half a century.

The former mayor of South Bend, Indiana, will play an important role in determining which transportation-related projects receive the new federal funding.

Sunday on 60 Minutes, Sec. Buttigieg told correspondent Anderson Cooper that one of the first things Americans are going to see is "accelerated work on roads and bridges."

"When it comes to roads and bridges, we haven't invested at this level since the Eisenhower administration, since they built the interstate highway system in the first place," Buttigieg told Cooper.
