A state-by-state White House report on infrastructure says there are nearly 200 bridges and two-thousand-miles of highway in poor condition across Wisconsin.
Each driver pays an average of 547-dollars per year in costs due to driving on roads in need of repair. In addition, over the next 20 years Wisconsin’s drinking water infrastructure will require over eight-and-a-half-billion-dollars in additional funding. The report says about 14-percent of Wisconsin residents live in areas where there is no broadband infrastructure and about 14-percent of Wisconsin households do not have an internet subscription.
