WASHINGTON – Nearly 235,000, or some 38 percent of all U.S. bridges, need repair, replacement or major rehab, according to an analysis of federal data by the American Road & Transportation Builders Association.
ARTBA's primary goal is to aggressively grow and protect transportation infrastructure investment. Many of its 8,000 members stand to benefit from increased funding. Finding a way to pay for infrastructure projects has been a major obstacle, with federal spending on the decline. From 2003 to 2017, adjusted for inflation, there has been a 20 percent decrease in federal spending on transportation and water infrastructure, according to the Congressional Budget Office.
Democratic presidential candidate Amy Klobuchar has made infrastructure a focus of her campaign. The Minnesota senator announced her candidacy with the backdrop of the rebuilt I-35W bridge, which collapsed in 2007, killing 13 people and injuring 145.
