As we get closer to the 2024 presidential election, we’ll hear more about key issues such as infrastructure from both camps.
After all, the U.S. is in desperate need of repairs.
Just look at the latest mishap in Baltimore, where a cargo ship brought down the Francis Scott Key Bridge. And unfortunately, lives were lost in the accident.
As noted by NBC News, “The tragic chain of events began early Tuesday when the cargo ship Dali notified authorities that it had lost power and issued a mayday moments before the 984-foot vessel slammed into a bridge support at a speed of 8 knots, which is about 9 mph.”
While this was an accident, it’s also a reminder of how poor the U.S. infrastructure has become. “The collapse again shines a light on the scale and status of American infrastructure. In the hours following the collapse, President Biden said that rebuilding the bridge would be a priority for his administration — with the huge cost of doing so borne by the federal government,” added The Washington Post.
Consider this. As also noted by The Washington Post, about 42,000 bridges are currently in poor condition around the U.S.
It’s another reason why we desperately need infrastructure updates.
