On Thursday, June 25, 2026 Congressional Republican leadership decided to recess a day early ahead of the scheduled July 4th weekend and the 250th anniversary for the United States. A day later, the Transportation Construction Coalition (TCC), made up of 34 national associations and construction unions, pressed Congress to prioritize a new surface transportation (presumably the Build America 25 Act) reauthorization before the current law (IIJA) expires on September 30.
