From everything I've read on the subject, the funding of projects is progressing as planned with the states being mainly responsible for implementing the programs. There is no reason to believe that the program has been anything less than a total success at this point in time.
"President Biden signed the US Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act (IIJA) into law in November 2021.
Since then, the bipartisan legislation has provided state and federal agencies with up to $1.2 trillion in funding to refurbish roads and bridges, improve access to clean water and internet connectivity, and increase the number of clean energy projects."
