The Infrastructure Reddit
Infrastructure - the fundamental facilities and systems serving a country, city, or area, including the services and facilities necessary for its economy to function. It typically characterizes technical structures such as roads, bridges, tunnels, water supply, sewers, electrical grids, telecommunications, and so forth, and can be defined as "the physical components of interrelated systems providing commodities and services essential to enable, sustain, or enhance societal living conditions."

The Cities With the Best and Worst Bridge Quality in the U.S.
A new study shows a comprehensive overview of the cities with the best and worst bridge conditions across the 50 largest cities in the U.S. Here's an overview:
- Portland, Oregon, and Seattle, Washington, had the largest share of bridges in poor condition, at 37.7% and 22.2%, respectively
- 6 major cities in Texas (Austin, San Antonio, Houston, Dallas, El Paso, and Forth Worth) were in the top 10 for best bridge conditions.
- Mesa, Arizona was #1 on the list with 0 of their 235 bridges in poor condition.
- 4.7% of all bridges in the 50 largest cities in the U.S. have at least one condition that makes them poorly rated.
Considering how frequently these bridges are used daily across the U.S., it is quite concerning how many of them are in bad shape! More funding needs to be allocated to these cities with poor-quality bridges ASAP or several catastrophes will likely result. Let's keep our bridges safe!

what to do after everything failed - Plan Z
I am scared with the current state of affairs where heads of states call one another - - - and pretending nuclear confrontation is not a big deal.
I wonder if there is a plan B. For example are there plans or manuals on how to revive civilization if escalation goes that far? Governments have some contingency plans for cases when they may have problems in some areas. But do they also have plans/manuals for the case when there is no more governments?

Are these cracks normal in a 1.5-2 year old road? It’s about 20F outside.
Is this normal aging for a 1.5 - 2 year old road? The photo with the fall leaves is from November 2023.
I was told these are relief cracks but these are all within 12-18 yards of rather. There is not cracking like this anywhere else.
Should I be concerned?

Have you ever been involved in an infrastructure development project for internet access?
I am a Global Development PhD student and I need your input! I am running a pilot survey intended for those who have helped with internet expansion global development projects. If you have been involved in that type of project in any capacity, I would greatly appreciate your participation!
This survey is not going to be used in any form of publication; it was created as an exercise in a survey methods course intended to help me practice the skill of survey creation. Thank you in advance for your responses!

VIDEO: Unlocking the Future of Climate-Resilient Bridge Construction: Insights from Mabey Bridge’s Nick Ianetta
In a presentation at NCE's Bridge Design and Maintenance conference, Nick Ianetta, the head of engineering at Mabey Bridge, discussed the advantages of modularity and off-site construction in creating sustainable, climate-resilient infrastructure.
Ianetta provided various case studies to highlight the environmental challenges in bridge specification and showed how accelerated bridge construction can be effectively implemented. He also emphasized the role of modular steel solutions in reducing project risks and boosting efficiency.
