Why are three senators from Wisconsin and Minnesota joining together to demand the release of federal funding for the Blatnik Bridge project?

Without certainty around federal funding disbursements, the Gateway Development Commission warned construction on the $16 billion infrastructure program could stall again in a few months.

Construction is already underway on the Tampa Bay Regional Surface Water Treatment Plant and will continue through 2028, according to a news release.
