The US Congress has passed a landmark $1tn (£741bn) infrastructure spending package approved three months ago by the Senate.
The 228-to-206 vote is a substantial triumph for Biden’s Democrats, who have bickered for months over the ambitious spending bills that make up the bulk of his domestic agenda.
Billed as a “once-in-a-generation” spending measure, the infrastructure legislation proposes $550bn in direct federal expenditure to upgrade highways, roads and bridges, as well as to modernise city transit systems and passenger rail networks.
The bill also puts high on the agenda an expansion of the social safety net for all Americans and new programs to fight climate change.
