The American Society of Civil Engineers (ASCE) released the 2021 Report Card for America's Infrastructure, its latest quadrennial assessment of the nation's infrastructure. The report gives the U.S. an overall 'C-' grade and finds the country is spending just over half of what is required. Overall, the long-term infrastructure investment gap continues to grow. That gap has risen from $2.1 trillion over 10 years in the last report to $2.59 trillion in the latest study, meaning a funding gap of $259 billion per year.
