But after 97 years, it\u2019s at the end of its reliable life. When we allow our infrastructure to deteriorate, we see traffic increase, productivity, and quality of life go down, and commuters face higher costs,\u201d<strong>&nbsp;<\/strong>said Assistant Speaker&nbsp;Clark.&nbsp;\u201cThat\u2019s why Congress and the Biden Administration made it a priority to enact the new Infrastructure Investment &amp; Jobs Act, the largest long-term investment in our infrastructure and economic competitiveness in nearly a century. I was honored to join Mayor Sisitsky to discuss how this funding will lower commute times and costs for drivers and improve our overall economy.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>[broadstreet zone=&#8221;53130&#8243;]<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>City Council Chair Phil Ottaviani Jr attended the event Monday, as did City Councilors Janet Leombruno, Michael Cannon, Cesar Stewart-Morales and Leora Mallach. District 2 School Committee member Ricky Finlay also attended.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>All four Framingham State representatives Carmine Gentile, Danielle Gregoire, Jack Patrick Lewis, and Maria Robison also attended the press conference.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Last week, the U.S. Department of Transportation\u2019s Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) announced that the first round of funding from the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act\u2019s $27.5 billion bridge formula program was distributed to states and Tribal communities. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This is the largest investment in bridge infrastructure in American history. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In this initial round of funding, the Massachusetts Department of Transportation (DOT) will receive $225.3 million for fiscal year 2022. Over the life of the five year program, Massachusetts will eventually receive $1.1 billion for bridge replacement and repair projects across the Commonwealth.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In addition to the formula funding headed to the Massachusetts DOT, the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act includes a $12.5 billion bridge investment program, which will provide competitive grants to assist state, local, federal and Tribal entities in rehabilitating or replacing economically significant bridges.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>[broadstreet zone=&#8221;58610&#8243;]<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure
