Second Avenue Subway – Phase 1, New York City, NY

The first major expansion of New York City’s subway system in more than 50 years, Phase 1 of the Second Avenue Subway runs 1.8 miles between 63rd and 96th streets, increasing accessibility to Manhattan’s Upper East Side while reducing delays and overcrowding on the Lexington Ave. line.

SR-520 Floating Bridge and Landings Project, Seattle and Medina, WA

The centerpiece of the SR-520 corridor reconstruction, the Floating Bridge and Landings Project replaced the previous bridge with a safe, more reliable, more environmentally sustainable transportation link between the region’s urban hubs on both sides of Lake Washington.

Dear Friends,

 

It is encouraging to finally see clear signs of federal action to support a comprehensive US infrastructure investment plan.

 

Now more than ever, our advocacy is needed to keep stakeholders informed and connected, and to hold politicians to their promises to finally fix our nation’s ailing infrastructure.

 

We have already engaged nearly 280,000 users, and hoping to add many more as interest continues to grow.

 

We require your support in order to rise to this occasion, to make the most of this opportunity. Please consider making a tax-deductible donation to InfrastructureUSA.org.
