U.S. Rep. Hank Johnson visited the site of the I-85 bridge construction site on April 14 and said it is great to see Georgians working together to get the job done.
"The I-85 bridge rebuild is an example of what could be happening across our nation to improve our infrastructure and put people to work with good-paying jobs, which helps invigorate our economy," Johnson said.
Two of Gwinnett's three U.S. representatives, Hank Johnson and Rob Woodall, visited the site with Rep. John Lewis, D-Ga., to get an in-person look at how the rebuilding work is going.
Johnson and Woodall are members of the House Transportation and Infrastructure committee.
"The I-85 bridge rebuild is an example of what could be happening across our nation to improve our infrastructure and put people to work with good paying jobs, which helps invigorate our economy," Johnson, D-Ga., said. "It is great to see Georgians out here working and getting the job done."
U.S. Rep. Hank Johnson, D-Lithonia, who serves on the House Transportation and Infrastructure Committee, said the president's budget "severely underfunds federal programs that put Americans to work to improve our nation's highways and transit systems, which was a center point of the Trump campaign."
"It's time for President Trump to put his money where his mouth is and deliver on his promise to improve our nation's infrastructure," Johnson said.
On April 14, Congressman Hank Johnson (GA-04) visited the I-85 construction site where on March 30, sections of both north and southbound of I-85 collapsed due to a massive fire.
Dear Friends, The month of March was busy to say the least. We accomplished great work both in D.C. and through a series of events at home in the district. In D.C., among introducing bills and speaking out against "TrumpCare," I served as a ranking member in my first T&I subcommittee hearing on the issue of the country's national preparedness system.
Although I have hosted five town halls to date, more work is necessary to ensure that the benefits and accomplishments of the past eight years for all Americans aren't abolished with a stroke of the pen.
CLARKSTON, GA – On Friday, March 3rd from 10 a.m.-2 p.m., Rep Hank Johnson (GA-04), will be hosting his 2nd Annual Career and Community Resources Fair at Georgia Piedmont Technical College.
