Thank you Joe Biden! American infrastructure just earned a C. The highest grade the Society of Civil Engineers has ever given, in 27 years of grading. It sat at D or D plus for two decades. The engineers credit one law: the 2021 infrastructure act. 230 Republicans in Congress voted against it.
$595 billion. More than 52,000 projects funded. For the first time since 1998, no category scored a D−. The engineers credit the law by name.
This is what they measure: Aviation, bridges, broadband, dams, drinking water, energy, hazardous waste, inland waterways, levees, ports, public parks, rail, roads, schools, solid waste, stormwater, transit, and wastewater.
