Buttigieg announces $400 million infrastructure grant

U.S. Transportation Sec. Pete Buttigieg on Monday joined San Francisco city officials to discuss funding to repair and retrofit the iconic Golden Gate Bridge. Buttigieg was joined by city leaders to celebrate $400 million in funding for the project, which officially was announced earlier this month by the U.S. Federal Highway Administration, according to ABC7 News Bay Area.

Buttigieg said that the moment that it opened, this bridge has stood as one of the most essential and recognizable in their country and that location, that  proportions, that design make it not just the defining emblem of the Bay Area, but one of the great physical emblems of the United States themselves.
