US Senate on track to give final approval to $1tn bipartisan infrastructure plan

About 70 senators appear poised to carry the bipartisan package to passage with final Senate vote expected Tuesday morning

After weeks of fits, starts and delays, the US Senate is on track to give final approval to the $1tn bipartisan infrastructure plan, with a growing coalition of Democrats and Republicans prepared to lift the first phase of Joe Biden's rebuilding agenda to passage.

Final Senate votes are expected around Tuesday mid-morning, and the bill would then go back to the House of Representatives for further consideration.
