Preparing for the imminent surge in infrastructure projects

According to the American Society of Civil Engineers (ASCE), however, 43% of the public roadways in the United States remain in poor or mediocre condition, with almost 231,000 bridges needing repair—nearly 8% of them structurally deficient. These systems need major repair, replacement, or preservation work and soon. The U.S. Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act (IIJA), signed into law in November 2021, is a historic, $550 billion investment to address deteriorating infrastructure, including projects to improve public transportation, roadways and water and energy distribution systems. In government projects, however, nearly one-third of initiatives fail to meet original goals and only half stay within budget. This data spurred the Program Management Improvement and Accountability Act (PMIAA) of 2016, which is legislation designed to improve project and program management within the U.S. federal government to help reduce wasteful spending.
