U.S. Department of Transportation Secretary Elaine Chao paid a visit to the newly rebuilt I-85 bridge Thursday.
Chao joined Georgia Gov. Nathan Deal and other state officials under the reconstructed interstate overpass in Atlanta for a rededication ceremony.
She praised the completed bridge as an example of local, state and federal agencies collaborating to get something done.
“But most of all I think Atlanta can shine today. You have shown us a community, a city that works,” Chao said.
The federal government already chipped in $10 million for the interstate’s rebuilding.
The Georgia Department of Transportation will seek more support once it has determined the full cost, both direct and indirect, of the collapse.
