How does Maryland benefit from the Infrastructure Bill?

Congratulations, Democrats, for passing the biggest infrastructure bill since Eisenhower! How does Maryland benefit from the Infrastructure Bill?  So many ways!

  • $4.1 billion in federal highway aid.
  • $409 million for bridge replacement and repairs. The White House says the state has 273 bridges and more than 2,201 miles of highway in “poor” condition.
  • An undetermined share of $17.1 billion in national funding for ports, much of it for new construction.
  • $1.7 billion to improve public transportation options across the state.
  • $63 million to expand the state’s electric vehicle charging network.
  • $7.9 million to protect against wildfires and $15.9 million to guard against cyberattacks.
  • $844 million to improve water infrastructure systems.
  • $238 million to supplement Chesapeake Bay restoration efforts.
  • $100 million to enhance broadband coverage across the state. In addition, about 1 million Marylanders will be eligible for funding aimed at helping low-income families afford internet access.
  • An undetermined share of $1 billion to remove damaging highways or other infrastructure projects of the past that split neighborhoods.
  • Language allowing the Red Line light rail project in Baltimore to be revisited as part of billions of dollars in transportation capital investment grants. Hogan canceled the project in 2015.
