America's Infrastructure Series

Infrastructure is something that we use every day, like roads, bridges, and railroads, but probably never think too much about. However, in the United States, many parts of the country’s infrastructure are old, falling apart, and in desperate need of repair and upgrading. Without infrastructure, access to clean drinking water, food, health care, communications systems, and housing would not be possible. Infrastructure provides the basis for these vital necessities.
