Senators Warren, Markey, Representative Keating Support Massachusetts' Application, Urge Biden Administration to Provide Funding to Replace Aging Cape Cod Bridges

Press Release

"The Cape Cod Bridges Program will deliver immense social, economic, public safety, and environmental benefits for a nationally significant and iconic region and ultimately resolve an outstanding federal responsibility for the maintenance and safety of the Cape Cod Bridges."

BREAK IN TRANSCRIPT

"The bridges' structural deficiencies--a U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (USACE) responsibility-- present an enormous risk to the accessibility and economic stability of the Cape Cod region and a long term financial liability for the federal government.

The Cape Cod Bridges Program is a prototypical project that the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law was designed to fund, and is a key to modernizing Massachusetts' physical infrastructure to meet the economic, social, and environmental challenges of the 21st Century. We are proud to support the Commonwealth's application for funding."
