| 摘要： | In 2022, the U.S. DOT began to rollout the bipartisan Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act (IIJA), and that influx of money-a $1.2 trillion infrastructure package that will deliver $550 billion in federal investments over five years-has people smiling. However, not everyone is celebrating. There is some concern about the state of the industry, as well. Most of the money in the IIJA will be allocated to states, which have final say in how it is spent. But the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law also offers new discretion and billions of dollars to the U.S. DOT. The Transportation Department received $120 billion to spend through new or expanding programs. "There's never been such a dynamic and fertile time to work on this because of the resources we have with the [President Biden's funding] package," Buttigieg told The Washington Post in October. Most people working in the industry would agree. This past summer, Roads & Bridges conducted a multi-part state of the industry survey. Respondents represented highway/ heavy construction (47.9%), both building and highway construction (25%), general building construction (12%), technology development (10%), and material production (4.7%). |
