The price tag to bring it into good repair? Nearly $2.6 trillion over 10 years, according to the American Society of Civil Engineers
That’s the “American Society of Civil Engineers”, not the “US Army Corps of Engineers” like your original comment said. It’s also not “emergency repairs”. $2.6 trillion is the amount that needs to be paid for over the next 10 years to keep things in “good repair”. The $1.2 trillion takes us a little less than halfway there. Toss in the federal and local budgets for transportation and that’s another $4 trillion over the next 10 years. More than likely more money will be made available in the next decade for additional projects.
