Infrastructure construction projects are what keep the important functions of a country live. Infrastructure projects are responsible for keeping electricity and water flowing to homes and businesses. They’re also responsible for the roads, bridges and other mass transit ways used to deliver people and goods across the nation. These are the various types of infrastructure construction projects across the nation.

Highways, Streets, Roads and Bridges

Highways, streets, and roads are common types of infrastructure construction projects. While more often than not streets and roads are repair projects, they are no less complex logistically than other infrastructure projects. As a result repair projects can incorporate street resurfacing. It’s less expensive than street reconstruction; however, it is a temporary fix. But street reconstruction is an infrastructure construction project that provides long-term fixes to an already existing road, and sometimes is the only way to repair it. Highway construction can be resurfacing or reconstruction; however, expansion projects are also very common in congested areas.

Bridges are an important part of infrastructure construction projects. 4% of highway bridges considered to carry significant traffic are considered structurally deficient. However, structurally deficient doesn’t mean unsafe. Most of these bridges just need repairs, but bridge repairs can be a large undertaking. Project managers might find the logistics and expenses more complicated with heavily trafficked bridges infrastructure maintenance and repair projects. With the increase in infrastructure spending, many of these bridges might receive repairs.
