U.S. President Joe Biden is in Baltimore, Md. on Monday to laud the rearmost road design funded by his Bipartisan structure Law, pressing the state’s plans to replace a 150- time-old lair that runs Amtrak trains between Washington,D.C. and New York City.
The current Baltimore and Potomac Lair opened during the Ulysses S. Grant administration and is used daily for commuters with an estimated 9 million passengers travel through the lair annually. The new lair will be named in honor of Marylander Frederick Douglass.

The White House estimates the design will produce roughly 20,000 construction jobs. An agreement inked between Amtrak and the Baltimore- DC Building and Construction Trades Council stipulates that the lair is erected by union workers.
Fixing the nation’s worsening structure has been a major precedence for the Biden administration. The legislation, inked into law in late 2021, allocated further than $1 trillion to update transportation, broadband and serviceability across the country.
He’ll continue his structure stint on Tuesday in New York, NY where he’ll trumpet the Hudson Lair design, also paid for by the new law. Both Biden and Vice President Kamala Harris will travel to Philadelphia, Pennsylvania on Friday where backing from the law is being used to remove supereminent pipes.
