Sure - but historically, Democrats spend big on infrastructure. It's always appreciated, it always makes jobs, and there's never a shortage of falling-down bridges to point at. I'd argue that the TVA and other New Deal programs got as far as they did because there weren't enough roads to go around so they had to build all sorts of other shit.
