- W617814623 abstract "Today about 40 percent of U.S. bridges are rated deficient. An average of 120 collapse each year, some simply because they never received a new coat of paint and were more vulnerable to elements. Thanks partly to massive highway reconstruction that could have been avoided, the time Americans waste in traffic jams amounts to 2 billion hours annually, and could rise to 4 billion by the year 2005. And water mains and sewers across the country are reaching the end of their 80-to 100-year life spans. We owe today's infrastructure crisis to yesterday's shortsightedness. The vision that produced our cities' subways, highways, bridges, and thousands of miles of water mains earlier in the century failed to provide for the care and replenishment of the infrastructure once it was built. The author provides the good news: the infrastructure crisis is solvable. He looks at some of the programs underway, in places like New York City and the dramatically improved subway system since massive renovations began 10 years ago. The Boston area's effort to renovate its badly neglected water-main system is another example. Promoting system efficiency will have to be the watchword for solving the infrastructure crisis on all levels - funding, organization, planning and implementation, and as its name implies, the new $155 billion federal Intermodal Surface Transportation Efficiency Act has adopted this approach as a chief policy goal." @default.
