Schumer stood at one of Monroe’s “poor-rated” bridges, the Rt 590 bridges over Monroe Avenue in the Town of Brighton, and announced $13.5 billion for New York in the recently Senate-passed Bipartisan Infrastructure Bill, the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act of 2021 (IIJA), to address the backlog of repairs needed to fix the county’s deficient bridges, highways, and roads.
