Description

CLEVELAND — President Joe Biden will visit Northeast Ohio on Thursday. Biden will visit Cleveland and Lorain to discuss his $1 trillion infrastructure package, which was signed into law in November 2021. The legislation will send $60 billion to Ohio to fund local and state government projects, plus $10 billion to fund highway projects and $1 billion for the Great Lakes Restoration Project. The president visited nearby Pittsburgh in January, coming to the city right after a major bridge collapse. A new report found that nearly 5 percent of all Ohio bridges were deemed "structurally deficient." A bridge is classified as structurally deficient if the deck, superstructure or substructure are in poor condition, or if the culvert below it is in poor condition, according to government definitions.
