Maine’s Infrastructure Grade Improves to a ‘C’
The Maine Section of the American Society of Civil Engineers (ASCE) released the 2024 Report Card for Maine’s Infrastructure. It includes 16 categories of infrastructure that received an overall ‘C’ grade.
That’s a one-step increase from the 2020 Report Card for Maine’s Infrastructure and one step higher than the national average on the 2021 Report Card for America’s Infrastructure. A ‘C’ grade means Maine’s infrastructure is in fair condition and will require attention to ensure it remains reliable in the future.
Of the 16 categories, six (hazardous waste, rail, roads, schools, stormwater, and solid waste) saw grade increases, while three (bridges, energy, and levees) saw grade decreases compared to the 2020 report card.
