Around 25 percent of bridges in the U.S. were built before the 1960s , and in an age of climate change, these ailing pieces of infrastructure are starting to feel the heat.
According to a new report, bridges are facing unprecedented pressures from climate events, including large temperature swings, increased flooding, and troublesome soil erosion.
A bipartisan infrastructure bill passed in 2021 earmarks $110 billion for rebuilding America 's aging roads, bridges, and highways.
