A significant federal investment of $5 billion targets upgrading or replacing dozens of aging bridges across 16 states. President Joe Biden's administration announced the funding as part of a larger $1.2 trillion infrastructure law signed in 2021, which dedicates $40 billion over five years to bridge projects. The largest chunk of $1.4 billion will fund the improvement of the vertical lift bridges over the Columbia River, connecting Portland, Oregon, and Vancouver, Washington. Other major projects include the Sagamore Bridge in Cape Cod, Massachusetts, and various bridges in Mobile, Alabama, and Harrisburg, Pennsylvania. Despite these investments, the American Road and Transportation Builders Association estimates that $319 billion is still needed for nationwide bridge repairs. Currently, about 42,400 U.S. bridges are in poor condition, impacting both safety and the economy. Additional funds will support bridge projects in Rhode Island, Florida, Arkansas, Tennessee, North Carolina, South Carolina, Oklahoma, New Mexico, Kansas, and bridges linking Ohio and West Virginia. Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg emphasized the urgent need for these investments.Learn more on this news visit us at: https://greyjournal.net/news/ Hosted on Acast.

Approaching the Sagamore Bridge there was bumper-to-bumper traffic spanning 15 miles at its peak. WBZ's Tim Dunn reports:

Episode 79 features Ultra Spartan Racer and Marathoner Caroline Staudt.  Professionally, she is an attorney turned realtor but currently she is on sabbatical living in Sweden for the year with her family. Caroline ran Cross Country and Track at Choate Rosemary Hall and Brown University. Athletically, after college, She continued running but very much as a recreational runner jumping into local races from the 5K to the marathon and never really focused on her training. She continued enjoying the act of running, but lost her competitive drive and focus. Then in 2018, she discovered Spartan races and when she quickly realized that she wanted to try a Spartan ultra in 2019, all of her passion for running and competing came back. In 2019, at her very first ever ultra and 4th OCR race, she finished 2nd at the Spartan Killington Ultra. She Followed that up with the Spartan Ultra World Championships in 2019 in Åre, Sweden – her second ever ultra and her first 24-hour event finishing just minutes outside of the top 10. Then when the pandemic hit, she had to find her own adventures. Instead of signing up for organized virtual races/runs (with the exception of our BMT for BLM 4 run this past February), She decided a “choose her own adventure route”. In October 2020, she ran her first 100K as a solo adventure running the length of Cape Cod from the Sagamore Bridge to Provincetown In May 2021, she took on a 4X4X48 run (running 4 miles every 4 hours for 48 hours). Instead of taking this on as a solo adventure, She brought her community along with her and turned it into a fundraiser. Having never done a charity run before, She ended up raising over $13,000 for the NAACP Legal Defense and Education Fund. She is currently enjoying the running scene in Sweden having already raced in the world's largest cross country race (a 30K) and is taking on a local trail 50K this weekend.
