ROADS/BRIDGES: U.S. DOT releases table ranking road & bridge conditions by state

July 13, 2015

The U.S. DOT released a table about the road and bridge conditions for each state

The U.S. DOT released a table ranking state road and bridge conditions.

Indiana ranks No.1 for the best road conditions, while Illinois and Connecticut are tied for last place.

The nation's poor road and bridge conditions cost each motorist an average of $300 annually. Nearly half the country's roads and more than 25% of its bridges are in "poor" condition.

The Highway Trust Fund is set to expire on July 31. Without action from Congress, federal funding for transportation will be completely cut off.

Over the last six years, Congress has passed 33 short-term measures rather than funding transportation for the long term.
