WASHINGTON (AP) — The Biden administration says it’s started 40,000 construction projects since the passage of major infrastructure legislation two years ago.

Biden has long emphasized the bipartisan appeal of the $1 trillion investment in roads, bridges, ports, rail, internet and other projects.

Donald Trump has criticized the law and some Republicans in Congress are proposing cuts in infrastructure spending.
