I can’t see one specific thing the money is to spent on. Just the generic “highways” “bridges” etc.
Where’s the itemized list? They came up with the dollar amount, based upon what?
Which bridges?
Which highways?
What’s their project dates?

Now read the OP.Roads and bridges
The bill provides $110 billion to repair the nation's aging highways, bridges and roads. According to the White House, 173,000 total miles of America's highways and major roads and 45,000 bridges are in poor condition. And the almost $40 billion for bridges is the single largest dedicated bridge investment since the construction of the interstate highway system, according to the Biden administration.
Public transit
The $39 billion for public transit in the legislation expands transportation systems, improves accessibility for people with disabilities and provides dollars to state and local governments to buy zero-emission and low-emission buses. The Department of Transportation estimates that the current repair backlog is more than 24,000 buses, 5,000 rail cars, 200 stations and thousands of miles of track and power systems.
Passenger and freight rail
To reduce Amtrak's maintenance backlog, which has worsened since Superstorm Sandy nine years ago, the bill provides $66 billion to improve the rail service's 457-mile-long Northeast Corridor as well as other routes. It's less than the $80 billion Mr. Biden — who famously rode Amtrak from Delaware to D.C. during his time in the Senate — originally asked for, but it would be the largest federal investment in passenger rail service since Amtrak was founded 50 years ago.
Electric vehicles
The bill spends $7.5 billion for electric vehicle charging stations, which the administration says are critical to accelerating the use of electric vehicles to curb climate change. It also provides $5 billion for the purchase of electric school buses and hybrids, reducing reliance on school buses that run on diesel fuel.
Internet access
The legislation's $65 billion for broadband access aims to improve internet services for rural areas, low-income families and tribal communities. Most of the money would be made available through grants to states.
Electric grid
To protect against the widespread power outages that have become more frequent in recent years, the bill spends $65 billion to improve the reliability and resiliency of the nation's power grid. It also boosts carbon capture technologies and more environmentally-friendly electricity sources like clean hydrogen.
Airports
The bill spends $25 billion to improve runways, gates and taxiways at airports and to improve terminals. It would also improve infrastructure at air traffic control facilities.
Water and wastewater
To improve the safety of the nation's drinking water, the legislation will spend $55 billion on water and wastewater infrastructure. The bill includes $15 billion to replace lead pipes and $10 billion to address water contamination from polyfluoroalkyl substances, or PFAS — chemicals that were used in the production of Teflon and have also been used in firefighting foam, water-repellent clothing and many other items.
This is from your article.
I'm not sure how they decide which project to pick or if they give X amount of dollars to every project.
It could just be that they give it to the states and the states decide which projects to spend it on. A percentage would go to roads, another to airports, etc.

1.2 trillion isn't a lot across the country. Not to mention it will be less than a trillion after a lot of it finds its way into people's pockets as the money travels around.
But let's face it, it was never fully intended for bridges and such, it's real purposes are buried in the bill.
Come on man, you know. The thing!He already told us where where the money's going. Remember this?
"We have put together, I think, the most extensive and inclusive voter fraud organization in the history of American politics"
So what. Right-wingers don't care about equal protection of the laws.$500 billion to Randi Weingarten and the teachers union......
Now read the OP.
Name one project and it’s project date.
They told the states that the check was in the mail....They haven't given the money to the states yet.
The states will name the projects.
Name one project and it’s project date.
Bullshit. It's a bipartsan plan and the op is simply lazy and stupid.No one can.
Ask any lefties on this site that are jerking off over the bill.
They have no idea why they like it.
It is a DEM bill, so the trained seals clap and bark.
Fucking embarassing NPCs.
