Breaking ground on the new Connecticut River Bridge with Amtrak in Connecticut

Thanks to the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law, we officially broke ground on the new Connecticut River Bridge-a vital part of the Northeast Corridor serving over 700,000 Amtrak passengers daily.
With nearly $1 billion in federal funding, this project will modernize a 117-year-old bridge, ensuring faster, safer, and more reliable rail service. This groundbreaking is more than just a new bridge; it's a critical investment in America's future infrastructure.
