Notes: 

Positive numbers in table indicate spending, negative numbers indicate savings or revenue. Maximum amount is taken from CBO's calculation of budget authority over the 2009-2019 period. Deficit impact is taken from CBO's deficit impact calculation for 2009-2019. Amount spent as of 11/3/2012. Individual provisions may include some smaller specific measures not directly related to infrastructure spending, but these items do not significantly alter total figures.

*In CBO's January 2010 Budget and Economic Outlook, it revised its cost estimates for infrastructure down by $3 billion, bringing the total cost to $139 billion.
