WASHINGTON: The United States faces a US$2.59 trillion shortfall in infrastructure needs that requires a massive jump in government spending to address crumbling roads, bridges and other programs, according to an assessment by an engineers group issued on Wednesday.
The biggest projected gap is in surface transportation, which faces US$1.2 trillion in projected unmet needs over 10 years, while water systems face US$434 billion and schools US$380 billion in funding gaps. Biden wants a big jump in spending on U.S. surface transportation, airports, transit systems, as well addressing high-speed broadband, electrical grids and water systems and boosting electric vehicles charging and high-speed rail.
