VOA: Stimulus Package Funds Thousands of US Transportation Projects

From VOA: 

Construction projects are popping up across the United States as money from President Barack Obama's economic stimulus plan begins flowing to states. The Obama administration says the investment in infrastructure projects will create tens of thousands of jobs and revive the ailing U.S. economy.  From coast to coast, new transportation projects are underway. They are the first to get started with funds from the economic stimulus package approved last month. In Missouri, construction crews are widening a highway and building a new bridge to replace this old one built in 1933. At the site, one supervisor says this will have an immediate economic impact.
