The United States runs one of the largest infrastructure systems in the world, but a large share of assets is aging. The IIJA package is accelerating spend on roads, bridges, broadband and grid upgrades. The main bottlenecks are interregional transmission, freight rail capacity and metro housing supply. AI-driven datacenter demand is straining grid plans in several states.
