There are many details to iron out about the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act, which was signed by President Joe Biden.

The $1.2 trillion bill is the largest infusion of federal dollars in infrastructure in nearly a century, and Idaho is expected to receive more than $2 billion for roads and bridges.

The Idaho Capitol Sun reports, Idaho will also receive $355 million for clean water projects and $24 million for climate change preparation. Idaho will also receive $192 million for public transportation and $86 million for airports.

According to the White House, Idaho will also receive a minimum of $100 million for broadband internet infrastructure, which is meant to provide access to residents who lack broadband capability.
