are you saying nobody can disagree with the ASCE? Again, civil engineers largely make money via public funding of projects. follow the money.

i agree all roads, etc need maintenance. that doesn't mean the roads are all 'crumbling'. that is obvious hyperbole

In my state (Alabama), 22.4% of the bridges are structurally deficient or functionally obsolete, 25% of the roads are in poor/mediocre condition, and $141 per motorist annual total extra vehicle repair due to poor roads.

That's 1 out of every 4 roads and bridges.
