Nearly $62 billion from the Biden-Harris Administration's Bipartisan Infrastructure Law has funded numerous infrastructure projects in California since 2021. The initiative aims to enhance roads, bridges, public transit, and energy systems while promoting climate resilience and conservation.

In three years, over $61.5 billion has been allocated to California for infrastructure improvements. An additional $3 billion from the Inflation Reduction Act supports further development within the state.

"This is the single-largest investment in infrastructure in the state since the 1980s," a statement reads, emphasizing its significance as an opportunity to advance California's climate action efforts.

Governor Gavin Newsom supports this initiative as part of his agenda to expedite infrastructure development. Residents can track local projects at build.ca.gov.

California witnesses construction activities statewide, including high-speed rail in Fresno and wildlife crossings in Los Angeles. Governor Newsom noted that this marks a "Biden-Harris infrastructure boom," with federal and state investments starting to show results.

With many jobs created and vital projects underway, California intends to fully realize the benefits of the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law for its residents.

Earlier this week, Governor Newsom met with President Biden and other officials in Washington, D.C., focusing on maintaining partnerships between state and federal entities for California's nearly 40 million residents.

The $61.5 billion funding breakdown includes:

- Airports, ports, and waterways: $2.8 billion

- Broadband: $4 billion

- Energy efficiency and clean energy: $1.4 billion

- Public transit: $22 billion

- Roads and bridges: $24.4 billion

- Water, climate, and environment: $6.9 billion
