Overview
- New red signs at multiple projects read “President Donald J. Trump — Rebuilding America’s Infrastructure,” replacing earlier blue placards that credited Biden’s bipartisan infrastructure law.
- The signage includes smaller text noting funding from the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act and omits any reference to President Biden.
- Sites identified in recent reporting include bridge projects in Connecticut and Maryland, rail improvements in Seattle, Boston, and Philadelphia, and an Amtrak tunnel replacement between Baltimore and Washington.
- Amtrak spokesman W. Kyle Anderson said the signs were posted to update outdated materials after the administration change.
- Donald Trump opposed the 2021 infrastructure bill and initially ordered a pause on some disbursements before a clarification narrowed the scope, while a prior Hatch Act complaint over labeling was closed by the Office of Special Counsel.
