The Wisconsin Section of the American Society of Civil Engineers (ASCE) have released the 2020 Report Card for Wisconsin’s Infrastructure.
Wisconsin civil engineers gave 13 categories of infrastructure an overall grade of a ‘C,’ meaning the state’s infrastructure is in mediocre condition.
Water and energy infrastructure systems have received significant investments and are helping protect the state’s natural environment now and in the future, but the transportation network needs support. Roads and transit received the lowest grades in the report, each earning a ‘D+.’
Deficient roads cost Wisconsin drivers $6 billion annually from wear and tear on vehicles, wasted fuel due to congestion and costs of crashes on roadways.
