Democrats said Friday they’ll turn to a separate jobs bill that will provide funding to rebuild roads, bridges and airports, and create a national infrastructure bank that would leverage private and public capital to finance projects.
Like other Democratic jobs bills, the infrastructure legislation will be paid for by taxing the wealthy – in this case, a 0.7 percent surtax on modified adjusted gross income in excess of $1 million a year.

I live near the Tappan Zee bridge. It was built in 1955, to last 50 years (until 2005). They never expected it to handle the amount of traffic it currently gets.
Would be nice to build a new bridge to replace it, before it falls down.
They already charge $5 to cross the bridge. Maybe they ought to use that money.
