By Atlantic Institute for Market Studies| 2005-08-30T00:00:00+00:00 August 30th, 2005|In the Media|

Roads, bridges, and crossings are important infrastructure to ensure Atlantica is prepared for its role in free trade and globalization. As the oft-forgotten corner of the North American continent, such asphalt and steel was frequently neglected due to the lack of money for proper maintenance and upgrades. That’s beginning to change in the US northeast, an integral link in the Atlantica chain. The US Congress has approved a comprehensive, six-year, highway spending bill which includes billions of dollars for transportation projects in Maine, Vermont, Massachusetts, New York and New Hampshire.
