Infrastructure

The condition of Oregon’s bridges continued to decline last year, according to a new report from the state Department of Transportation.

On Thursday, the Yurok Tribe received a $61 million grant from the National Telecommunications and Information Administration to bring high speed internet to nearly 1,000 homes and 110 businesses on the far northern California coast.

President Biden’s $1.2 trillion infrastructure bill that was signed into law this week will fund lots of projects in Oregon. Those include historic investments in Western water infrastructure.

The Warm Springs Reservation in Oregon has been without clean drinking water for years, the just-passed infrastructure bill promises to fix that.

The precarious future of President Biden’s $2.75 trillion federal infrastructure and social spending plan has state officials hopeful — and anxious.

Democrats must untangle a potential government shutdown Thursday, a potential federal default, a vote on a $1 trillion infrastructure bill and a related vote on as much as $3.5 trillion in spending.

The vote is a victory for a group of bipartisan Senate negotiators who worked with the White House to craft the agreement. The measure faces an uphill path in the House.

As Democrats try to pass their massive multi-trillion-dollar spending bill with a simple majority vote, lots of things might be included but other things might not. And it all goes back to one man.

The over 2,700-page bipartisan bill, finalized Sunday night, includes money for roads, transit systems and high-speed internet access. It's the first phase of President Biden's infrastructure plan.

After weeks of talks that often appeared on the verge of collapse, a group of 20 Senate Republicans and Democrats reached agreement on a bill funding roads, bridges, transit projects and broadband.

Despite the failed vote, a broad group of senators said they "are close to a final agreement."

The price tag comes in at roughly $1 trillion, with $550 billion in new spending over five years. The funding goes toward roads and bridges as well as broadband and electric vehicles.
