SUMMARY: The American Society of Civil Engineers has graded Mississippi’s infrastructure a C-minus for 2024, indicating it is in fair condition but requires attention and investment. This assessment considers various infrastructure elements, including roads, bridges, and levees. Mississippi Department of Transportation Commissioner Willie Simmons stressed that funding is crucial for maintaining infrastructure, particularly roads and bridges. Recent financial support has improved the situation, helping to address these issues.
