I thank you, distinguished Chairman Olver. I rise to bring to your attention a critical infrastructure need in the Fourth Congressional District of Wisconsin. The Hoan Bridge, a vital thoroughfare in my community, connects downtown Milwaukee to the near southside southern suburbs, on to the airport and beyond to the interstate, but it's rapidly deteriorating. Chunks of concrete have been falling off the bridge, and of course, that has created a significant safety hazard. My constituents really rely on the Hoan Bridge, and it accommodates about 43,000 vehicles per day. I trust, Representative Olver, that you will agree that ensuring the bridge's structural integrity and the safety of my constituents is of urgent importance. I yield to the chairman.
