Today, the U.S. House of Representatives passed the House-Senate agreed Conference Report to H.R. 22, the Fixing America's Surface Transportation (FAST) Act. This long-term highway and infrastructure bill will provide an additional $244 million for highway projects in Arkansas, bringing the total federal investment for Arkansas projects included to $2.5 billion over five years. Following passage of the bill, Congressman French Hill (AR-2) released the following statement: This conference report is far from perfect, and some of the provisions had no business being a part of a discussion about highways.But in the end, it accomplishes what the people of Arkansas and America need and expect for long-term infrastructure planning. This will be the first time since the George W. Bush Administration that we will have a highway funding bill that gives us the flexibility to fund and finish our most crucial infrastructure projects without burdening hardworking American taxpayers. This legislation facilitates a plan to execute the road and bridge projects long-needed for our state. Infrastructure work offers steady employment and enhances the economic profile of the Natural State. | 1 | 2026-03-30T12:14:52Z | 2026-03-30T12:14:52Z |
