Top Challenges Government Facing In Solving US Infrastructur Crisis

1

An Overview Certainly, the United States is one of the most powerful countries across the world. However, US bridge infrastructure is falling apart.

Roads, bridges and the entire infrastructure is in bad shape. Experts stated that the number of structurally deficient and functionally obsolete bridges in the United States has reached a critical point.

What is the current state of the US bridge infrastructure?

According to a recent report by the American Road & Transportation Builders Association (ARTBA), the total number of defunct bridges in America is 54,259. Nearly, 8.86 percent of bridges in the United States are rated “structurally deficient� and need repair.

Unfortunately, publicly available funds are insufficient to solve the infrastructure crisis of America.

Well, public private partnership or PPP is one of the best solutions to bring US infrastructure back in shape. Basically, the public private partnership is an agreement between government and private bridge infrastructure companies. Private bridge infrastructure companies help local governments for solving the infrastructure crisis in the United States.

Let’s dive into two major challenges that the US government is facing for solving the infrastructure crisis: 1. A Lack of Government Funding 2. Aversion to Unfamiliar Solutions

A Lack of Government Funding In 2017, America’s overall infrastructure got a score of D+ from the American Society of Civil Engineers (ASCE). Clearly, US infrastructure needs repair but publicly available funds are not sufficient for this.

In fact, experts estimated that repair could cost $1 trillion. Thus, the public private partnership is the best solution.

Aversion to Unfamiliar Solutions Lack of awareness of the actual situation is one of the major challenges that the government is facing in the process of shaping US infrastructure.

However, most of the Americans are aware of the situation but still, more awareness is required. Thankfully, the US government is trying new innovative and cost-effective solutions.
