An infrastructure plan could provide a rare opportunity for the president to make strides with both the business community and labor unions — traditional foes that both say infrastructure improvements should be an urgent priority.

“There are a lot of issues that are very divisive now,” said Matt Jeanneret, spokesman for the American Road & Transportation Builders Association. “This isn’t one of them.”
