In a bipartisan agreement in the Senate, Democrats and Republicans reached an agreement on the Infrastructure Plan promoted by Joe Biden.
Members of the upper house of the United States Congress presented the bipartisan infrastructure project. The legislation will be 2,702 pages long and they expect President Biden to pass it soon. However, the Senate will enter a rest period of just over a month, so they will return until September 20.
The spending package, worth one billion dollars, was approved since the end of July with a vote of 67 to 32, including the support of Republican senators. President Biden had expressed assurance of approval in Congress.
"Given how bipartisan the bill is and the amount of work that has already been done to get the details right, I think the Senate can quickly process the relevant amendments and pass this bill in a matter of days," said Chuck. Schumer, Senator from New York, and Senate Majority Leader.
The new infrastructure plan contemplates an approximate figure of 550 billion dollars in new expenses such as highways, bridges, airports, broadband, water systems and electricity networks, throughout the country.
Other objectives of the plan include the adoption of green energy among American families and the creation of infrastructure more resistant to the new climatic conditions derived from global warming.
