Why are we building new bridges?

Why are Americans building new, larger bridges and tunnels every year?

According to the latest survey of bridges and roads, which is being conducted by the US Department of Transportation, this has been a well-kept secret for decades. 

“A lot of the construction we’re doing, the construction that we’re building right now is not connected to the national highway system,” Transportation Secretary Anthony Foxx said on “Fox & Hayes” in March.

“It’s not connected by a national highway.

It’s not the national transportation system.” 

“It’s a lot of different types of construction.

And a lot is connected by the Interstate System, which means we’re able to connect the interstate system, but there are some types of building that aren’t.” 

Foxx added that many of the projects that are being built on private property, such as bridges and underground parking lots, will be linked to the network of bridges that connect the country’s major cities, including New York, Los Angeles, San Francisco, Seattle, Chicago, Boston, and Washington, DC. 

The federal government has spent billions of dollars on infrastructure projects to build the infrastructure needed to keep the nation’s roads, highways, and other transportation systems safe and functioning.

But the construction boom is now on the verge of a second wave, and the US Transportation Department estimates that the number of new bridges and road projects will grow by more than half in the next 30 years. 

But it’s not just the bridges and tunnel projects that will get bigger. 

Many of the new bridges, tunnels, and road improvements are expected to also have a significant effect on the way Americans travel and shop. 

And that’s exactly the point. 

There are two big trends in construction: a rise in construction volume and the rise in costs for building new roads and bridges. 

To be sure, the volume of construction is growing at a fairly steady pace.

The total amount of construction in the US each year is about $20 trillion. 

In 2015, construction in America’s cities and towns increased by 1.5 percent, according to the US Census Bureau. 

This year, the total amount is expected to rise by 6.5 million construction jobs, according the US Bureau of Economic Analysis (BEA). 

Construction costs in America are increasing, too. 

According to the BEA, construction costs for new roads in America increased by 2.6 percent last year. 

Construction in the city of San Francisco and the state of California grew by 8.5 and 7.2 percent, respectively, in 2015. 

For comparison, the US government has invested $2.5 trillion in road construction since 1970, with the government spending about $600 billion on roads per year.

“In the past, we had to wait for our bridges to get repaired,” Foxx explained.

“Now we’re waiting for them to get built.

So I think that the infrastructure is being rebuilt, and I think we’re going to see the growth in the growth of roads and the growth as a whole, that’s a really big driver of this.”

“

But I think it’s an opportunity to really do a lot better in America.”
