Overpasses do generally take a very long time to widen. Particularly if they need to keep that highway open (ie if there is no reasonable way to reroute traffic during construction).

The $527 billion you are listing there is considered new federal investment over the next 5 years thanks to this legislation. The total is closer to $550 billion according to most press releases.

It’s not hard to understand, and it was stated in the video.

The main problem is how new infrastructure is funded which is from a mixture of mostly the state and federal government and a small amount from the town/city which promotes a car-centric spread out suburban environment which puts city services in a rural environment with rural tax incomes promoting the city growth ponzi scheme which expects near constant economic growth while making taxpayers foot the bill whenever growth tumbles and cities go into decline. If the USA didn't build a car-centric urban environment with city services in a rural style suburban landscape since the 1930s-1950s then America wouldn't need a US$1.2trillion infrastructure bailout plan that was caused by the same 2 political parties over 5 decades ago and in some cases even the same politicians...

Also encouraging people to start businesses and supporting them. It’s just that simple. If I were president that’s what I would do.
