Warren says in the ad that America has roads and bridges in need of repair. Undoubtedly there are some roads and bridges that are truly in need of repair but is there 9% of GDP in that condition?  I doubt it.  And if there is, are all these roads and bridges evenly spread out among the states or are some states going to get the bulk of the repair while others foot the bill?

The decision on when to repair or replace infrastructure should be made at the lowest level of government possible, certainly not at the federal level.  Warren is running for the US Senate right?  Not the place to be worrying about curbs and sewer lines. Leave that stuff to the local arms of government who know a lot better what the true needs are.
