The American Society of Civil Engineers (ASCE) has released its 2021 Report Card for America’s Infrastructure. The report, published once every four years, gave the United States a C- overall grade – up from a D+ in 2017 – marking the first time in two decades that the country has received a grade in the C range. However, the overall grade still means that the nation’s infrastructure is “in mediocre condition, has deficiencies and needs attention.”
