There are bridges in all 50 states.
But President Biden chose New Hampshire – a key 2022 midterm election battleground and the state that for a century has held the first primary in the presidential nominating calendar – as his first stop to sell the $1.2 trillion bipartisan infrastructure measure that he signed into law on Monday.
The president on Tuesday will visit NH 175 bridge, which spans the Pemigewasset River in the White Mountains in the northern part of the state. The structure for the past eight years has been on New Hampshire’s “red list” of bridges in poor condition.
The White House says the president “will deliver remarks on how the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law repairs and rebuilds the nation’s roads and bridges while strengthening resilience to climate change and creating good-paying, union jobs.”
