Thompson Announces $849 Million in Funding to Repair California Bridges in 2022

Statement

Today, Rep. Mike Thompson (CA-05) announced that California is set to receive $849.4 million to repair and improve the 1,536 bridges in poor condition throughout the state in 2022 from the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act. Congressman Thompson voted to pass this bipartisan law in the fall, helping to send $4.2 billion over five years to California's bridges. This funding is part of the largest bridge formula program in American history.

"Last fall, I voted to make the largest investment in our infrastructure since President Eisenhower's federal highway system," said Thompson. "The Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act is going to create millions of jobs while repairing our bridges throughout California. I'm proud to announce the first round of funding that is on its way to connect our communities, grow our economy, and make our bridges safe for generations to come."
