Oklahoma, West Virginia, and Mississippi aren't faring much better, a study of Federal highways data shows.
Not all states are created equal, though: Rhode Island, Oklahoma, and West Virginia rank the top three worst when it comes to maintenance.
QuoteWizard analyzed federal highway data to determine where infrastructure was fairing the worst — and at what cost to taxpayers. In its most recent "infrastructure report card," the American Society of Civil Engineers graded the United States' physical infrastructure — everything from tunnels, roads, bridges, electrical grid, and more — as a D+.
"Taxpayer funded highway capital delegated for states to maintain roads isn't enough to cover necessary repairs," the team behind the analysis said. "Many states are spending the majority of their highway capital on expansion instead of maintenance of roads. At this rate, it becomes a never ending game of maintenance catch up. On top of taxpayer dollars, it's estimated that driving on roads in poor condition costs motorists $120 billion in vehicle repairs and operating costs. That's $533 per driver.
