This project will also promote travel into Downtown Monroe by reconfiguring existing Front Street and Elm Avenue Interstate 75 interchanges and improving access to the non-motorized River Raisin Heritage Trail.\n\nFunding for this project comes from the U.S. Department of Transportation\u2019s Infrastructure for Rebuilding America (INFRA) Program, which has received historic levels of funding thanks to the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law the senators helped enact.\n\n\u201cReplacing the River Raisin Bridge is essential for ensuring the long-term stability of our state and regional transportation network,\u201d said Senator Peters. \u201cI was proud to support MDOT\u2019s application for this funding, which will improve roadway safety and make travel more efficient for the estimated 61,000 vehicles that cross the bridge every day to get to work and deliver essential commodities throughout the region.\u201d\n\n\u201cThis project is another example of how this administration\u2019s investments are making a difference in communities across Michigan,\u201d said Senator Stabenow. \u201cFrom the thousands who cross the bridge every day, to businesses that rely on the bridge to ship their goods, this is a critically important federal investment in Michigan\u2019s infrastructure.\u201d\n\nThis project was announced as part of a larger $4.2 billion U.S. Department of Transportation investment made from both the INFRA and National Infrastructure Project Assistance (MEGA) grant programs, supporting 44 infrastructure projects across the United States that aim to improve safety and mobility of people and goods.\n\n###", 1, "2026-03-30T01:40:41Z", "2026-04-07T21:57:20Z"]], "columns": ["url", "title", "date", "year", "month", "party", "chamber", "state", "member_name", "bioguide_id", "domain", "scraper", "source", "date_source", "text", "has_text", "collected_at", "updated_at"], "primary_keys": ["url"], "primary_key_values": ["https://www.peters.senate.gov/newsroom/press-releases/senators-peters-and-stabenow-applaud-196-million-in-federal-funding-to-replace-river-raisin-bridge-revitalize-i-75-in-monroe"], "units": {}, "query_ms": 0.7699150592088699, "source": "dwillis/congress-press", "source_url": "https://github.com/dwillis/congress-press", "license": "MIT", "license_url": "https://github.com/dwillis/congress-press/blob/main/LICENSE"}
