As America’s infrastructure—built largely in the post–World War II years of the 20th century—ages and deteriorates and the burgeoning U.S. population places ever-increasing demands on it, the United States is confronting an infrastructure crisis that threatens both public safety and economic growth and competitiveness. On March 19 ASCE released its 2013 Report Card for America’s Infrastructure. Conducted by an advisory panel of the nation’s leading civil engineers, whose areas of expertise cover a broad spectrum, the fifth such assessment undertaken by ASCE confers an overall grade of D+ and estimates the investment needed to raise the grade to a B by 2020 at $3.6 trillion. However, the means are in fact available to us to address this crisis in the immediate future.
