Manage episode 408370460 series 3525927
With the price of materials and construction rising, inflation has hit the construction industry particularly hard. On this episode of Driving Forward, host Andrew Stasiowski talks to Alex Etchen, Senior Director for Infrastructure Advancement with the Associated General Contractors of America.
Alex tells Andrew how, despite the billions invested in America’s infrastructure from the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law of 2022, roughly 40 percent of U.S. roads are still in poor or mediocre condition. With roughly $800 billion needed to address America’s backlog of repairs, Alex talks about what should be done in future highway bills to help bolster America’s construction industry.
