June 10, 2014

President Barack Obama signed the $12.3 billion Water Resources Reform and Development Act (WRRDA) into law on Tuesday, marking the first water projects reauthorization in seven years, Politico reports.

The House and Senate both passed the bill last month.

The legislation cuts $18 billion in projects deemed outdated by the Army Corps of Engineers and authorizes funding for port projects in Jacksonville, Fla.; Savannah, Ga.; and Boston, Mass.

The Buffalo Creek Bridge, also known as the Robert Coffin Parker Bridge, has been struck 14 times since it reopened in August after being refurbished following a truck strike in 2018.
