Infrastructure?
Overview 
It’s no secret that infrastructure is the economic foundation of a nation. 
Infrastructure keeps a nation operating smoothly. Infrastructure like 
bridges, roads, telecommunications equipment, waste management is 
some types of infrastructure. Basically, there are 9 different types of 
infrastructure that are broadly divided into two main categories soft 
and hard infrastructures. Soft infrastructures consist of infrastructure 
that makes up an economy, like educational systems, law 
enforcement, and more. On the other hand, hard infrastructures

A bridge is the most important component of a country’s infrastructure. 
Bridges are crucial for daily transit. Thus, it’s imperative to manage and 
maintain them. America is facing an infrastructure crisis for the past few 
years. Wondering, why? It’s due to less funding. However, things are 
getting improved after privatization. United Bridge Partners, a private 
bridge infrastructure company invests capital to help the government in 
repairing old and defunct bridges.
