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.

The atrocious chemical weapons attack this week was a visceral reminder of the horrors facing the Syrian people caught in this years long civil war.

President Trump's military strike raises several disturbing concerns about this Administration's approach to foreign policy and national security. The policy of brute force is no substitute for rational thinking and the careful consideration of all possible options and consequences.

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.
