US Edition6.9% of Nebraska Roads Are in Poor Condition
- On May 8, 2025, about 13.0% of major U.S. Roadways remain in poor condition, with significant regional disparities.
- This situation follows a decade of stagnant real spending on highways, which averaged $120 billion annually from 2010 to 2020 despite persistent infrastructure needs.
- The 2021 Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act, signed by President Biden, allocated $110 billion to road and bridge repair, sparking a surge in monthly spending to nearly $150 billion by early 2025.
- After this investment, the proportion of highways rated as well-maintained rose to 55.2% in 2023, while those considered in fair shape decreased from 42.6% in 2000 to 31.8%. Nevertheless, numerous states—particularly in the Northeast and California—continue to struggle with a high percentage of poorly maintained roads.
- This increased funding improved capacity for maintenance and long-term projects, suggesting ongoing efforts to reduce hazardous road impacts on safety, congestion, and the economy.
