    President Biden shared his vision for a $2.3 trillion infrastructure plan that's focused on fixing roads and bridges, expanding broadband internet access and increasing funding for research and development, including for electric vehicles and charging stations. The plan includes higher corporate taxes to pay for the package.

    “It’s not a plan that tinkers around the edges,” Mr. Biden said during a speech in Pittsburgh, “It’s a once-in-a-generation investment in America.”

    Here's a summary of what's in the infrastructure plan

    The $2.3 trillion plan, called the American Jobs Plan, is massive. The NYTimes summarized key areas of expenses (graphics below).

    In transportation: Modernize 20,000 miles of highways and roads; repair 10,000 bridges; and, by 2030, build a network of 500,000 electric vehicle chargers.

    This is just part one of Biden's plan

    The measure is the first of a two-part economic plan that Biden plans to move through Congress over the next few months. A second plan focused on child care, healthcare and education will be released later this month. Mr. Biden’s economic proposals are expected to cost between $3 trillion and $4 trillion over a decade, according to people involved in the proposals.
