The damage to roads and highways in PNW is astounding. Most of the roads and bridges are at least 20 years old or more and designed and built to much different standards than what are needed today.
If this damage does not underscore the need to pass a large Infrastructure bill, nothing ever will. Of course the fact that Washington, Oregon, California are politically Blue States means no support at all from Republicans. So much for America First.
