The Infrastructure Crisis: An Overview
The most important thing to understand about the infrastructure crisis is that there is no infrastructure crisis. All of the talk about collapsing bridges and crumbling highways is simply a ruse to persuade Congress to spend hundreds of billions or trillions of dollars, most of it not on repairs but on new infrastructure we don’t need and mostly won’t use.
This may seem hard to believe for people who have seen photos of collapsed bridges in Minnesota and Washington state and who may have to dodge potholes every time they drive. Yet the fact is that America’s highways and roadway bridges are in very good to excellent condition, and their condition is improving each year.

One failed due to a design flaw; the other because an oversized vehicle that should not have been on the bridge tried to cross it.
