America’s infrastructure is at a breaking point 🚧 🔹 CA Drivers lose $100B/yr due to road deterioration 🔹 Inflation & rising costs are shrinking safety budgets 🔹 Rural roads in states like MT, OKLA & FLA face higher fatality rates #Infrastructure #RoadSafety

Inflation has hit transportation budgets hard. The FHWA construction cost index rose 45-52% from 2022-2025, meaning current funds buy less. In NY, inflation has eroded around $3.8B of core construction funding over five years.

Across the country, our data reveals a stark reality: underfunded and deteriorating infrastructure is passing a massive hidden cost onto motorists. For example, driving on deficient roads costs Californians a staggering $100 billion annually! Learn more on our website!

Roadtrip trivia for you: E-W hwys are assigned even #s, which increase from S to N, while N-S hwys are assigned odd #s that increase from W to E. Furthermore, the route #s that are divisible by 5 (like I-10/ I-95) are intended to be the major, long-distance routes.

Currently, 58% of CA’s major locally and state-maintained roads are classified as in poor or mediocre condition, costing 100B dollars to CA drivers. California Transportation by the Numbers report on our website: w w w dot tripnet dot com (X will not let us post links)

Before there was the Interstate Highway System (IHS) , there was a grueling cross-country military convoy in 1919. Later, this inspired Eisenhower's highways, transforming how Americans travel, work, and connect. #History #Eisenhower #InterstateHighwaySystem #Infrastructure

Mythbuster: Have you ever heard that 1 out of every 5 miles of the Interstate must be built straight so that aircraft can land during times of war? There is actually no evidence of this in any Interstate legislation! Stay tuned for more trivia!

As we lead up to our national report about the Interstate Highway System, we have facts! The highest point is 11,158 feet at the Eisenhower Tunnel on I-70 in Colo. On the flip side, the lowest point drops to 103 feet below sea level at the Fort McHenry Tunnel on I-95 in MD.

The latest report from TRIP shows Montana's aging roads and bridges give us poor scores in terms of our state's infrastructure. A summit being held by the Montana Infrastructure Coalition this week is set to address these issues... #LetsBuildMT ktvq.com/news/local-news/new…
