Administration claims "long-standing and persistent racial injustice" in infrastructure Joe Bidens $2.5 trillion infrastructure spending spree will include $20 billion earmarked for actually destroying highways because they have been deemed to be racist.
The administration pointed to the Claiborne Expressway in New Orleans and Interstate 81 in Syracuse, New York as two examples of long-standing and persistent racial injustice, in infrastructure.
The plan set forth by Biden would see billions spent on an effort to reconnect neighborhoods by destroying current highways and making sure that new projects advance racial equity and environmental justice.
A whopping $621 billion has been touted for transportation infrastructure and resilience, with the administration promising it will address historic inequities.
Structural racism and persistent economic inequities have undermined opportunity for millions of workers, the administration has also claimed.
Last year, Bidens Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg proclaimed that Black and brown neighborhoods have been disproportionately divided by highway projects or left isolated by the lack of adequate transit and transportation resources.
