Top Challenges Government Facing In Solving US Infrastructure Crisis

Government Facing In 
Solving US Infrastructure 
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.
