Every year, Chuck commits to traveling to all62 counties in New York to meet with constituents.
On October 11, 2021, Senator Schumer stood outside the Sidney Main Street Bridge in Delaware County to discuss the status of “poor-rated” bridges, 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. Of that amount, an estimated $1.9 billion is exclusively for a new bridge replacement and repair program.
