The American Society of Civil Engineers’ (ASCE) has been grading the condition of America’s infrastructure since 1998 with most report cards showing little headway being made in addressing existing needs. With the significant increase in Federal funding from the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act many looked to see if it helped lift the condition of the various infrastructure categories. According to ASCE’s most recent report, the Biden-era infusion of federal funding helped improve the condition of the country’s infrastructure, bringing it up from a “C-” to a “C” grade. It shows grade increases in eight of the 18 categories assessed, many of which had long been stuck at a “D-” or “D.”
