The infrastructure of the United States is aging, particularly bridges, with many requiring repairs. Although structurally deficient bridges decreased, significant issues persist and demand attention.
Despite a decrease in deficient bridges to 43,289, 42% of U.S. bridges are over 50 years old, highlighting a severe need for infrastructure upgrades and investment.
Reliable bridges are essential for public safety and economic stability; however, ongoing inspections and deficient statuses reveal a troubling trend in infrastructure readiness.
Policymakers must allocate sufficient funds for bridge rehabilitation, as insufficient investment will delay the recovery of America's aging infrastructure.
