The Senate on Tuesday approved a $1.2 trillion infrastructure bill, clearing a major roadblock for a core Biden administration priority – but the legislation must overcome more obstacles before it becomes law. Senators voted 69-30 to approve the package, which would direct billions to modernize the country's roads, bridges and transit systems while also expanding high-speed internet systems and the nation's network of electric vehicle charging stations. The bill now goes to the House. The legislation calls for $550 billion in new spending. Among the major investments in the bipartisan package are $110 billion for roads and bridges, $39 billion for public transit and $66 billion for railways. It also contains $55 billion for water and wastewater infrastructure as well as billions for airports, ports, broadband internet and electric vehicle charging stations. The vote culminated weeks of tense negotiations between the White House and a bipartisan group of about 20 senators trying to craft a centrist package that would entice enough Republicans to join every Democrat in overcoming a filibuster to pass a bill.
