It’s no secret that the United States is one of the most powerful countries in the world. However, 
traveling on U.S. roads and bridges can be quite a bumpy ride. Wondering why? From the past 
few years, the United States is struggling with an infrastructure crisis. US bridge infrastructure is 
in bad shape! However, things are getting better after the public-private partnership. According to 
this agreement, a private bridge infrastructure company invests capital to help the government in 
solving the infrastructure crisis.

The infrastructure of Road is Old
Undeniably, America’s infrastructure is in very bad condition. Well, one of the top reasons 
behind this condition of roads is insufficient funds which can be solved with public-private 
partnership.

Budgets Are Spent Without Proper 
Research
The first challenge in solving an infrastructure crisis is a limited budget. Apart from this, 
spending this budget in the wrong places leads to more problems. Politicians and 
government officials spend funds on repair and maintenance. However, they should focus 
on improving foundations and infrastructure to increase the life of roads.

Different Government Levels Own 
and Maintain Roads
There are many roads and bridges in the United States. All of the roads and bridges are 
owned and maintained by different government bodies. This means that every road and 
bridge has different budget for construction and maintenance. Some roads and bridges 
receive funds from toll roads and some through federal taxes, and more.
