The 2023 American Society of Civil Engineers (ASCE) Infrastructure Report Card graded Michigan’s infrastructure a C-, highlighting the need for ongoing efforts to assess, maintain, and repair the state’s existing infrastructure and buildings. The initial step for any such project is a condition assessment to help engineers and owners understand needs and prioritize efforts.
