Texas and Alaska infrastructure awarded a 鈥楥鈥� grade
03 March 2025

The infrastructure in the US states of Alaska and Texas have both been awarded a 鈥楥鈥� grade, according to the American Society of Civil Engineers鈥� (ASCE) latest 鈥楻eport Card鈥�.
The ASCE releases a report card every four years and the next full version is expected to be released on 25 March.
Prior to that date, however, the ASCE has been releasing scores state by state.
Last week, it revealed that Alaska鈥檚 grade has improved to a 鈥楥鈥� in 2025, from the last report in 2021. 鈥楥鈥� is classified as 鈥渕ediocre, requires attention鈥�.
Alaska scored highest for its bridges scored (鈥楤+鈥�) and its dams (鈥楥+鈥�). But it failed to rise above a 鈥楥鈥� in any other category: rail, roads, solid waste, transit (鈥楥鈥�); aviation, ports, public parks (鈥楥-鈥�); drinking water, energy (鈥楧+鈥�); and marine highways, wastewater (鈥楧鈥�).
The report card for Alaska noted that the state鈥檚 geography, climate, seismic activity and harsh winter pose challenges to its built environment. But federal investments totalling US$9.3 billion as of December 2024 have accelerated almost 4,000 projects, it noted. Of that investment, 17% is supporting broadband projects and 15% is going towards clean water work.
In late February, the ASCE revealed that Texas鈥檚 infrastructure also scored a 鈥楥鈥� grade.
Of the 16 Texas categories, two saw grade increases: aviation went up to a 鈥楤鈥� grade, and roads scored a 鈥楥-鈥�. Bridges still performed highly at 鈥楤-鈥� But drinking water only registered a 鈥楧+鈥�, stormwater a 鈥楥-鈥�, and wastewater a 鈥楧-鈥�.
Late last year, the ASCE awarded Montana鈥檚 infrastructure a 鈥楥-鈥�, Maine鈥檚 a 鈥楥鈥�, Mississippi鈥檚 a 鈥楥-鈥�, and Wisconsin鈥檚 a 鈥楥+鈥�.
